Yesterday I was coming upon a stop light that was blocked by construction equipment. By the time I cleared the obstruction, I noticed the light was red. I know I can stop, but what about the person behind me? I tend to favor the left hand part of the lane while riding. I noticed the person behind me was more towards the right hand side. So, my "what ifs" decided not to pull off to the right side and just get as close to the yellow line as possible, but still be prepared to run the light if I had to. It was a good thing I stayed to the left, cause I would have gotten run over had I stopped in the middle of the lane or the right hand side. The person behind me didn't see the light neither and didn't react quick enough to me stopping. That was a phewww!!!! moment.
These are all the things you must think about when riding, so you new riders be prepared to not only keep on eye on what's in front of you, but also, what's behind you. Always keep a way out.
