Getting harassed by NYC cops is one of the many things I don't miss about riding in the city. I got a ticket over 10 years ago for running a red light which I had to do in order to avoid a taxi that was about to cut me off to beat the light. I didn't get points on my license fortunately because of my good driving record, but I had to pay a $100 fine. Now my rides are up 9W in the early morning hours so the hassles of city riding can go stuff themselves.
