This is terrifying news for motorcyclists.......

Post by ebiker »

This bit of information comes from the Vee Twin Forum during the topic of red light cameras......

"Understand from my 22 year old nephew that running red lights is the new chicken game among young people. AND the closer you get to on coming traffic the better. Also, if you keep rolling when coming upon a stop light where there's traffic and you blast thru the light without hitting your brakes you win."

The Harley rider who posted the above lives in Texas!!

Uh, maybe driving a Hummer or an Excursion is not a bad idea after all...

Of course, I still have my CDL. I wonder how much a bus sells for nowadays...

After living in Boston and the greater new Haven area of CT I just assumed that was the customary practice. :lol:

took me quite awhile to readjust back here in VT. Yeah you get to know which back roads to watch out for the "rolling stop sign" maneuver but at the intersection of two dirt roads around here, you are way more likely to a hit deer or the culvert than abother motorist!!!

Ahhhh, the joys of living 10 miles from the nearest stop light (in any direction!!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, Darwin Drivers can take out the innocent, too.

The less idiots like that in the gene pool, the better.
The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
