[QUOTE="Harald, post: 508375, member: 8054"] Are you sure about it CREATING funding for red light cameras to catch MOTORCYCLISTS running red lights? It's my understanding that this initiative will take the funding away from cities when they catch motorists (including MOTORCYCLISTS) running red lights and transfers the fines to the state for road improvements. So there will actually be no incentive for cities to install red light cameras that might catch MOTORCYCLISTS accidentally running a red light unless they were truly concerned with safety and not just increased city revenue. At any rate, I agree that more cars clogging car pool lanes does create extra hazard for us daily FJR commuters. Besides loving to ride my FJR, the car pool lane is one of the reasons that I commute year 'round including the cold and rain for most of the year. Speaking of which, what the hell were the weather people smoking yesterday? I checked the forecast last night and it showed a week of nice weather so I decided it was time for my semi-annual bike wash. My wash job lasted all of 10 hours (while the bike sat in the garage overnight) until I rolled down my driveway at 0445 and into the rain! At least I felt safe riding up Highway 167 in the carpool lane with no yahoos daring to cross the dreaded, illegal to cross, double white lines into my lane. Am I still OK, Iggy? I mentioned motorcycles and the FJR numerous times in my post! :yahoo: [/QUOTE]
