Benny, I Have An Answer

[BadnewsCJ]

I've never noticed any issues at lights in my jeep, which has a glass body, hood, and fenders.... It would probably also fall into the distance from the detector category since it sits higher than usual.

i dunno, maybe im just never in enough of a hurry to notice being held up at lights....

There were a few lights that my GSXR would never change. I heard that putting down the kickstand would help, but nothing worked. There were a few other lights that would change late at night if I flashed my highbeams at them.

Holy cow, I never expected this thread to go this far! Good info here about the subject though. Benny and I only talked about it for a few minutes the other day, and here we are.

As far loop detectors not being able to detect big lifted trucks because they are to far off the ground, that is not true. They cant detect all the way up to about 9.5' from the ground.

Also the opticom emergency vehicle sensors all have a serial number that go along with them. In the begining they did not and people were abusing them, so now every time a ambulance or emergency vehicle goes through a stop light and that is used the serial number is recorded and they know when and why it was used.

That all makes sense and sounds perfectly legit... I know some lights used to not sense Clay's pickup well and some don't like my Dodge. I would conclude that becomes a height issue.. The farther the "core" from the coil the less the inductance increases..

Also we know if there's not a large enough mass of iron something won't be detected.. Guess you're screwed if you bought that gay alumi-tub car with aluminum chassis from Boyd Coddington's crew of retards..

I wonder how much magnetic material is typically needed.. Say we got something like a new Ford GT.. There's a heavy (no pun intended) lack of steel in that thing. Probably not much more than a motorcycle.. I'm trying to think of other iron-deficient cars now.

and here i thought i always got stuck at the light by the gas station on Prices Fork because the CIA liked looking at my truck through the red light cameras... they're watching you, ya know.


that, or the sensors don't like Jap steel. racists put a hamper on my vehicular travels...

There are two or three lights around town that won't pick up my samuari.

I have sat for 4-5 cycles of the light and never had them change. I usually have to wait for someone to come up behind me and trip it or, just run it.

damnit let the hamper thing go.

[Slinkey]

Just glue a magnet to the bottom of your bike.
