Red light sensors

Hi all, Have had my little Munchy for 2 weeks now and was wondering if anyone else has had a problem with red light sensors.

Two times I have had to turn against a light in a turn lane because the light just would not change. Is Munchy too small to be picked up by the sensors?

One suggestion: a magnet. Or contact your DMV.
See:

Left Turn Lane Trigger
Hope it helps! Thanks.

J Paul I would like to thank you for shifting this question so smoothly into its proper category.
As a matter of fact I would say that I'm delighted with the whole concept of smartcar of America. They way it is run, the dedication and efficiency of the moderators and all connected with it makes this a pleasure for me to be part of.
Further more the graphics displayed are terrific.
IMHO

Since the front end is so short, it is easy to not pull forward enough to trip weight sensors in parking garages, etc.

There's only one light on my regular routes that does not pick up my motorcycle. I once waited through two light changes and never got a turn light. I finally got off and hit the crosswalk button. Hope the smart does better!
