so i'm ridin through parksville last night on my road bike on my way to the pub, and i was coming towards a red light, so i looked up and saw the other light go yellow and was about to turn red as i entered the intersection, so i gave no thought of stopping since there was no traffic coming either way or any danger.....

yet i get pulled over by an undercover cop car and he proceeds to ticket me for running a red light! now guess what an outrageous amount it is, well hows 167 bucks.....167 BUCKS WTF are you on....a power trip is what he was on.

anyways i'm not impressed, and will be challenging it

well i didnt have a helmet on, but i dont think he realized it until he came to hand me my ticket and clued in and reminded me it was illegal not to wear it, and i had no bell or lights(8:50pm).

and to reply to majinhurricane, i guess ya can, but he spelt my name wrong, wrote down some drivers license #(that i dont have one), said i produced an 'N', and was a prick

If I was the cop I would have let you go. Darwinism on the other hand is a little harder to avoid.
