I just got done going over the FAQ list myself, and I found one that I
should comment on...It was "Fb. Flashing your headlights on and off will speed up a stoplight" This is correct, but there is more to it. On the majority of stoplights, there is a sensor somewhere on the stoplight, and this is used by fire engines, ambulances, etc... The strobe light on those things does more than just blind you and nearly run you off the road, it is at a precise Mhz, and when the sensor picks it up, the lights change. I read somewhere that it was possible to take a strobe light and set i
t to the proper Mhz, or some strobe lights (like one I saw in radio shack a while ago) can be adjusted with a knob to do this. If someone already babbled about this, then let me babble with them.
