Default green light trigger

ive seen these "green light trigger" things advertised in the back of magazines and on e-bay. just wondering if anyone has tried one and if they even work. i'm sick of waiting in turn lanes for a car to come up behind me and trip the sensor so i can turn [:@]

Seriously...can we get those...I thought only emergency vehicles have those? I'd be clicking it every time I was even approaching an intersection.

I just stop on the lines that you see, where the sensors have been layed in the road. Seems to work.

I just run them after 2 cycles. Tennessee passed a law making it legal for bikes to do this I believe ... maybe a couple of other states also. I'll risk the ticket in GA instead of waiting for 15 minutes[:@]

DO NOT BUY, THEY DO NOT WORK!

I bought the one claiming to be the strongest "earth magnet" they sell and it SUCKS!

Do like me and look both ways carefully looking for cops and crossing traffic, then when it's clear run the light. Even stopping over the loop detector doesn’t do the trick for me. If there is traffic behind me I pull up past the stop bar far enough hoping a car pulls close enough behind to trip the light.

yea those red light triggers or whatever you call them are basically things that you would find near a check out at a gas station. They put them there to make money because people know that there is no way it would sell regularily. lol
