Two Random Traffic Light Observations

[jimvw57]

I don't have apanoramic roof... so I just wait until the guy next to me goes. If you stop farther back at the light, some lights have a sensor in the road that will only change the light if someone is stopped over them, Some type of metalic sensor I believe.

I too don't trust the cagers... but since I sold the bike and got a Smart, well it is all good!!

Oh what the heck - I guess I'll just go sit down and have a "soda".....oh wait, that's "pop"......no, a "coke"......um, nah - a "cola".

Bum-bling... shouldn't that be RC Cola...oh wait you are in Flowida...not the true south.... at least that is what they told us when we lived in Fla.

While I have to drive 10 miles to the north to cross over the state line to get my RC & Moon Pies I'll have to let my neighbors disagree.....pics to come later on in my gallery. They are truly internet southerner stereotype quality. Just wait......

That's what I was thinking about the panoramic roof. It's summertime and a lot of people are putting their heat shields up so pulling the visor back for a looksee isn't an option, and then there are the cabrio & Pure owners too.

I have the LightinSight fresnel lens installed - it is a bit pricey, but with the money saved from not having to see a chiropractor, it has paid for itself!
South Carolina isn't very civilized (to judge by the conversation here), so unless I am two cars back, I use the lens to see the light. On occasion, I get close enough to look through the roof.
And here, there are enough Damned Yankees to make Coke either a Coke, or some other fizzy beverage. And Tea means SWEET Iced Tea - any other way, you gotta order it special. Oh, yeah, and grits...

6'6" here, and the Lights are definitly a pain in the neck to see. I tried stopping further back and as someone mentioned... the dam light wouldn't change because the sub surface sensor didn't detect me... so I scrunch a bunch.

If you live in the provinces as I do simply stop where a clear view of the light is still possible. the other is it not simply amazing how many butt heads the world has produced and how many live in your neighborhood.
