Man of Honour
Hi All,
The offices in London where I am working have parking in their loading bays for bikes, which exit via their own dedicated side road - which sees very few vehicles.
As a result of the infrequent use, the traffic lights on this exit are controlled by a pole mounted traffic sensor (with no ground loop visible) - which simply will not see my motorcycle.
The last few days I have tried rolling back and forth, changing my position, getting off and throwing my glove at the sensor - and nothing helps, the other lights at the junction just keep cycling. If a car comes up behind me, the lights change as normal.
I know the law gives absolutley no excuses for passing a red, but after 12 minutes of dancing and waving last night, I gave up and proceeded with caution.
How long would you wait ? Any tips for making it see me ? Please don't laugh when I get a ticket
