If you believe that your motorcycle has not triggered a light sensor while stopped at a traffic light, when can you proceed?

  1. Immediately

  2. After one light cycle

  3. After waiting two light cycles and safely doing so.

  4. After revving your engine

The correct answer is: After waiting two light cycles and safely doing so.

If you believe that your motorcycle has not triggered a light sensor while stopped at a traffic light, the correct course of action is to wait for two light cycles and proceed only if it is safe to do so. This is because some traffic light sensors may not detect motorcycles due to their smaller size and different composition compared to cars. By waiting for two light cycles, you give ample time for the signal to change and ensure that it is safe to proceed without risking a traffic violation or your safety. Option A, which suggests proceeding immediately, may lead to running a red light and potential consequences. Option B does not provide a specific time frame for waiting, which may result in uncertainty and inconsistent behavior. Option D, revving your engine, is not a recommended or safe practice and does not address the issue of the light sensor not detecting your motorcycle.
