Some will even invite you to bring the bike to use for a test. The PW folks in other towns, however, are run by pricks who won't even talk to you. If I lived in a place like that, I think I'd be visiting the next city council meeting. Anyhow, give it a try. Most places it is well worth the (small) trouble.

Well, it's been almost a week and I still haven't received a ticket in the mail. Hopefully I won't.
Interesting side note about the cameras that many communities are using for this type of enforcement: they don't actually issue traffic tickets, but rather send a letter that states "This is not a ticket. There is no fine associated with this notice". Basically what they are is a "tattletale ticket" where you fill in the information about who was driving the car when the violation supposedly occurred and then they send an actual traffic ticket to that person; if you don't respond, they don't have a violator. I'm not sure about the 100% legality of this, but after some research on the internet (which should be taken with a grain of salt), I found numerous websites that propose that you simply disregard the notice and they won't contact you again (again, this isn't legal advice, but just random internet chatter). Interesting stuff anyway. |

Another fairly successful way to trigger traffic lights is to shut off the engine and restart it. The magnetic field of the starter will usually trigger the signals. I know it will work with the VStrom but haven't tried it with the GZ.
