In Idaho, rolling stops are not legal for cars, hence the tickets. They are legal for bikes. Similarly, in Idaho, bikes may treat a red light as a stop sign.

In all other states, legally, you must come to a full stop no matter what kind of vehicle--and yes, bicycles are considered vehicles under the law.

Sorry, Didn't mean to flog a dead horse.

I hadn't read to the end of the thread before replying.
