Not an issue at all. I know a really short dude that does it on his motard. Has it down to a science.

It is a bit goofy but not the worst transgression ever.  Huh?

Bit lame but I have to do this to trigger the stoplights around here if I'm alone.  Angry Believe the law in VA allows me to take my chances after ~ 2 minutes, or something like that..., but I'd rather the light in my favor...

Kick stand down will help the light change? How so? Pardon my ignorance. However, I don't think that excuse is valid in his case considering that he has two cars in front of him and me behind him waiting for the light as well.

I will not make a db comment like "dam Asian squid" as a reference to their bad driving skills because I am sure there are great Asian drivers out there. That would just be so wrong of me to say even though he is Asian.

Read it somewhere else a long time ago. Not 100% but does work where the car sensor wires are embedded in the road as they are around here. Just enough metal I suppose where otherwise it only recognizes a ton of steel.

You need a ferrous kick stand.  Eve then, no guarantee, at best, an added glimmer of help.  And, yep, you need to be over the coil.

I will not make a db comment like...

 Roll Eyes

Then how about you just don't say it?

Adding the disclaimer doesn't negate the fact that you typed it out and then hit the post button.

"I'm not a racist, but [insert racist comment]" is still a racist comment.
