I just ran across this Bill in the Senate, introduced last week, which basically: 1) Extends the definition of "bicycle" to include hand powered bicycles. 2) Allows rear lights to be any color (currently, lights must be red if one is used). 3) Allows bicyclists to signal with either arm (currently, signals must be made with left arm). 1 and 3 are no-brainers. 2, I can see the argument for given that many motorists who see a red light expect that the light is attached to a car - so a different colored light might be better. There have been a number of instances where Amish buggies with red lights on the back get rear-ended at night because motorists see the light and assume it is attached to a car moving at LIMIT+10. This is why I always set my light on flash. Does anybody know the story behind this bill? _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
