It's most likely illegal to use this for that purpose, but cool just the same.

TricPlate.com


They have them for bikes and cars, kinda spendy for me, but if you run a lot of lights it may be for you.

They do work, a buddy of mine bought one for his bike. He mounted the switch on the handlebars, and for the most part runs with in it so no one can get a picture of his plate.

I know in some states if you get caught with something like that you'll get ripped a new one.

Running Stop lights is a no no - people get hurt that way. Im sorry, but I have no sympathy for people that run red lights - grow up.

I just got one for 426.00. You can clearly see I am towing my 11k lb toybox and in that case I wasn't going to stop until I was in the middle of the intersection. I don't make it a habit of running red lights but you have to make a judgment call about safety too. I made the call and got the ticket. I will be going to court to try and fight it. Maybe it won't work but maybe I will get the fine reduced if I can't get it thrown out.

I'm amused, not saying they're good or bad, it's a new product advertised in the SEMA e-news.


I figured some would like it and some wouldn't,

Just thought I'd share.

I don't thinks it such a good idea to run redlights but that is a pretty sweet deal. I don't know why I like it I just do.
