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

Why does it matter how it faces? I had mine stuck to the lowest point of my bottom faring and it never worked. I should also mention it was the strongest "earth" magnet they made.

Or you can be like me and live in Tennessee and just run them when all is safe.

Seriously though, I"m glad I don't have that problem anymore; TN passed this law a little over a year or so ago if memore serves.

Just so you guys know it only works on the ones that are magnetically triggered some lights have a weight trigger that we just can't do anything about. Most tweeters have neodinium magnets but you have to dig deep to get them out ( rip the magnet out of the front) and if you do, use the magnet only not the gold part from the back of the tweeter. It will only work if it is on a piece of metal that it will actually stick to (ie headers or crossover pipe closest to the ground not mounted or glued to plastic or aluminum)this makes the magnetic field way bigger, the more the magnets the better, they are very small and light. just thought I would share, my buddy works for the road service that repairs and installs them here in CO. good luck guys
