    Do personal traffic light changers work in NZ?

    If they do I am going to buy one. Given I will be using a bike to commute to work, this alone will shave of 15 - 20 minutes. Add this little beauty and I'll get there in 5 minutes.

    I'm serious, I will get one if they work in Auckland. What do you think?

    Nope, otherwise the cops would use them (or BMW would have them standard in the 7 series )

    Jeez its not cheap. Even if it did work whats the point. Bikes can easily get to the front of the queue anyway.

    Don't buses have some sort of system where they can hold a light green for a bit longer? And I heard the Ambo's were looking at something too, or they should be at least. I think all the services should have the ability to hold a green

    300 bucks tho!?!?!

    I was under the impression that the ambos did have one? And I know buses will quite happily go through a red and or not give way cause they think themselves special.....

    About as much use as a chocolate fireguard when two of you approach the lights at the same time and use one AND your coming in at right-angles to each other, oh yes, they'll be SO handy then, haaahaaahaaa...

    in america, ambulances have a white flashing light on the roof (certain amount of flashes per minute type of thing), that gets picked up by special sensors on traffic lights in big cities, which forces a 'quick-change' for the traffic lights
