Using jaywalkers to feel out the intersection,

When you are at a red light at an intersection and for whatever reason your view of crossing traffic is blocked. You can either inch little by little to the intersection until you can see and risk your front wheel getting clipped. Or you can use peds who are crossing on the red to see if there are any cars coming and you can join in on the law breaking. Peds will always drift towards the intersection to see if there are any cars to cross, since they don’t have a front wheel to watch out for and can accelerate to 5 mph faster than we can. Its more safe to do it when more than one ped crosses the intersection, the trick is to wait to see till they are in the middle of the intersection. If you just go, when one ped starts to cross, he could easily be one of these guys who are not paying attention and hell either jump back in or sprint across the intersection with the car still coming through at full speed. Since you cant accelerate as fast as a ped can your stuck in the middle of the intersection with a car coming in at full speed. The clueless leading the clueless. But, if you wait for the pedestrian to be in the middle of crossing and he doesn’t look alarmed and keeps at his leisurely pace, than that means that there are no cars coming and you can go. If a whole group of peds are in the middle of crossing an intersection than you can go, because even if there is a car coming it will stop and slow down for the group to pass. So use them as a shield and just cross the light.
