red light camera poll
I've been known to ride a little aggressively and there has been more than a few occasion when I almost lost it trying to stop before a red light. For example a few weeks ago I was going a 'little' over the the speed limit when I approach a known red light camera. I usually counts the number of pedestrian warning lights and know when it would turn red (I wish all red light cameras have those countdown ones). But this time I didn't know how many times it has been blinking so I decided to gun in. Well it turned yellow right away and I knew there was no way in hell I was going to make it so I did an emergency brake. Holy crap! Read tire slid, screeching like crazy but somehow I was able to save it. But not by much. This happened on an early saturday and was absolutely no traffic. If that light wasn't red light camera I would have just crossed it without having to worry. Yeah, I know why don't I just slow down, right? I could, but that would be boring. I enjoy riding my bike aggressively (but safely).
Heck, let me make a poll.
