Bike laws

he!

Well here in California, if ride your bike after drinking you can get a DUI on your driver license if you are over the limit (0.08).

If you run a stop sigh or red light, you can get a moving violation with all the fines of regular ticket. It also goes on your driving record. (I saw 4 guys in Redondo Beach getting a ticket cause they blew through a stop sign and right in front of a motocycle police. They didn't even try to slow down... oops)

And yes no helmet under 18 and parents can get a ticket.

Riding without a light at night you will get a ticket.

Should you be speeding, you can get a ticket for going over the speed limit. A friendly motocycle police have taken "pictures" of yours truely in the past. I've clocked pretty fast but only once was I over the speed limit just by 1mph though!!! They usually smile and tell me how fast I'm going.

heh! Just wish I had that kind of conditioning.

It goes on your driving record ?! That's ridiculous! What do they do when the cyclist doesn't have a license?
