It's a chance you take some do, some don't but you can pass out from the heat sitting in traffic.

I recently moved to Florida from N.H. & the thing that I worry most about is what is that heat doing to my air-cooled engine at those ridiculosly(sp?) long traffic lights! I have actually seen people riding with a full helmet , leather jacket , shorts & sneakers!
