["Cameron" <camckay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The sensors at traffic lights don't detect weight, they detect mass
magnetically.  It detects the magnetic or metallic signature of your
vehicle.  If you're driving a ten ton plastic car, you will never trip the
sensor.  I used to work for a company that installed parking systems for
parking lots. i.e.., gates, ticket dispensers etc. and learned that all the
bouncing up and down at a light will never trigger the sensor to change the
light.  I haven't tried the "GreenLight" deal, but I will buy it and
hopefully it will work.
