Let me say ahead of time, this is a completely true story with nothing added. This is also the first adult lesson I think I ever learned.
When I was about 18 or 19 years old, which was about 17 or 18 years ago, I used to ride home late at night from my buddies house. On my way home I would always get stuck at a certain red light (you know what I mean). This particular night I waited a few seconds as ususal, then rolled on through. Seeing as I was the only one on the road what could it hurt. Of course there was someone else on the road, a Police Officer. He pulled me over and asked " Did you see that red light?" After telling him my story he said "Is there any reason you cant get off your bike and press the walk button for the crosswalk?" I said no, he was pretty nice and let me off with a warning. NO JOKE, the next night I'm at that same T intersection. I get off my bike to push the "walk" button, turn around, and there is a Police Officer with his lights on behind my bike. He says, "Is there a reason you abandoned your motorcycle on the road?" 8O . I of course shared my story from the night before. He also was pretty cool, let me go with a warning. His suggestion was to turn right at the intersection then left or make a u-turn at the next green light (which was less than a block away). What did I learn?? Honestly it was to take a different way home, but I also learned that there's more than one way to do something. I also learned that the Police are nice, if not confused guys.
