14. I have ridden a motorcycle...
and I am well aware that some sensors are not calibrated to measure the weight of a motorcycle. I also know that some sensor plates don't trigger a car's weight (especially for a small car) if the car is not seated properly on the sensor plate. I've been stuck like that before.

However, I still feel that this law is reckless and endangers not only motorcyclists but other motorists. If you get stuck at a light,if possible, turn right, find a safe place to turn around, then turn right again. Better than becoming impatient, running the light, and hurting someone. Just one time someone is injured, is too many.

So we will disagree on this point. Perhaps motorcyclists should lobby for sensors to be calibrated to the weight of motorcycles.
