TRAFFIC LIGHT HACK

[97polloloco]

I forgot to tell you that if you have a theory you need to use the scientific method to test your theory.

[97polloloco]

That is a lot of time to waste instead of doing nothing at a traffic light, and you went though a yellow light HA.

[KeeperofTheMountain]

If you have ever worked for FedEx, this is one funny video!!

[ilikedovehunting]

What if you live in nyc

[subiesvx]

What an incredible waste of time!  I'm angry at myself for watching it.

[swat420]

this coffee tastes like shit.. its a bit nutty

[marksrig]

Hahaha...if had to do all this, I would never get to work!

[teammotoriffic]

We use these techniques all the time in professionally rally racing. The tips are terrific for racing, but using these tips in day to day driving as well is saving us thousands!!! We put our saved green towards track tires, off-road PIAA lights and sunglasses - in fact - we funded our entire last season of racing with the money we saved. This video is a under-appreciated public service! Has Scott applied any off his innovative efficacy techniques toward auto maintenance?

[The004elmenor]

i thought he had a limo 3:14

[celicapunkracer]

I dont think this was intended to be a fully informational video. Its quite hilarious how he has a limo driver for his Plymouth Neon. And I dont think anyone in their right mind would time all the traffic lights and have someone riding in their back seat with a stop watch, this is flaud because the speed of the car makes a big difference (you might arrive early or late to your light)

[shaneanator1000]

who has the time to do all that

[TheNickspower]

Thats legal :(

[cjr1881]

This guy really wishes he was someone huh?

i ride my bike so i just use the button hack its pretty cool

[xavierng925]

It's not time, the traffic light has a sensor!

[violetlightBTR]

wow i am not spending the rest of my life creating dum grids and timing trafic lights just to spare a few minutes 0_0

[rorrt]

@violetlightBTR

And there lies the absurdity of this video...

That and the way that the Department of Traffic getting rich off people waiting.

And besides, if this were a full proof idea, it would save time in the long run. I mean if you go to London, i remember running into about 4 traffic lights in a row, 4 red traffic lights, must have taken at least 15 minutes.

[MiniNinja224]

Certain roads have weight sensors and more the weight on those the more likely you'll get to go

[rekked435]

I thought everybody knew traffic lights were timed, you really think there gonna just pick random times for each light to be

[askvideos1]

@rekked435 traffic lights usually arent timed lol. most have sensors

[Ball4184]

your full of crap. there is a REASON for red lights. Use common sense to figure the rest out

[countryboy4life89]

I AM NOT BUY A DAMN THING FOR U ASS HOLE SCOTT SUMMIT GO TO HELL AND DIE THAT WAS 9 MINS I WILL NOT GET BACK TY ASS HOLE

[countryboy4life89]

WTF R U ON U SAID HACK THAT IS NOT A HACK U ASS HOLE

[curquedufreak]

idiot, traffic light are electomagnetic if you are in a metal car-it will turn green

[hashimotto]

I have a better idea plant a 2 megaton warhead under the road in one of those gutter pipes and voila you will have no signals. As a matter of fact you can drive in any direction then with no lights and roads.

[JaredEtherton]

was this filmed in knoxville? because thts the strip on ut campus @ 2:20

[Ladiesman217n]

ANOTHER EPIC FAIL like i want to waste my time timing lights bullshit theres too many vairables

[cdude100]

I don't think this is true because traffic lights where i live a trigger activated

[xanadu247]

I really wish that worked in my city, they have a traffic control policy that changes during the day and night where they will randomly make you stop even though there are no cars at the cross intersection. They do it on purpose to evenly distribute traffic. North Richland Hills, TX

[Gourmeticainsularis1]

[SoullessSkater]

i think that this would take more time to go around than to go straight through

[Seguris]

[peanuttherat]

Now try to get back out of the bank all green.

[MyLife527]

yeh like someone is really gonna go outside and record the time of a light and make a big chart and waste tacks and see it ....u might as well just sit there. be patient.

[YoungJDogg]

Holey shit you have a massive forehead.

[ZzDreamGoat77]

omg its Dr. Phil =D

[12345637393]

[joshuagiovanni]

[cadu1995]

I thought Ron Jeremy was 1 helluva ugly fuck before but he just gets UGLIER & UGLIER EVERY FUCKING DAY, Hooknose jew who used to love to suck his own cock

Real talent asshole.lol

[cokesand]

James Bond, in a lavender NEON?????????

[Prolitd]

kopilo

[parkourviewer]

Timed lights? What are you talking about? Almost every light out here are controlled by sensors.

Maybe that worked 20 years ago..

[dante4d]

@parkourviewer Here we have mix of both. Lighter traffic (night) and sensors kick in, denser traffic (mornings and afternoons) and somethimg time-fixed. And if you stay on the main ring road around the city, lights there go in wawes, so you can sometimes go around the whole city getting only greens...

[parkourviewer]

@dante4d

I know what you're saying. In SF I catch lombard and van ness with greens sometimes. But it's honestly a little different everyday, so this doesn't work.

[sk8erpalonis]

3:07 Yellow one!

[2000hadee]

Loved it I'm subscribing

[TheTommyboy1992]

Well, You went into circle make more time than just wait on red light! Crazy Vid

[THUNDERBOLT013]

idk tgis would take alot of time to make...about the same amount of time you would spend at a red light right? hmm..nothing gained

[ADSaaron]

ron jeremy? wasnt expecting that lol

[benskitv]

Hey Scott? This is pretty much one of the best videos on youtube! But why aren't you a youtube partner?

Eat some pie,

-Dennis Vrdoljak

[shovelheadstudios]

Just a Question, how far do you live from your bank because it looks to me like ya live at least 3 miles. For the record I live 8 yards.

[downhillproductions5]

longest intro evar!!!!

[bikegeekmtdx]

Actually the majority of today's traffic lights are demand-actuated. They have loops of wire buried in the pavement behind the stop line, which detect vehicles waiting, so the light only changes when needed. This helps improve traffic efficiency. Some demand-actuated lights do have a time-delay, which means that once the light detects your vehicle, it waits a certain amount of time before it changes.

[doublet58]

@bikegeekmtdx shut up u little shitty bastard! wats the point in sayin dat wen we were only havin fun u mother fucker.

[bikegeekmtdx]

@doublet58 Excuse me? I'm just stating the facts for someone who really thinks this is a true hack.

[doublet58]

@bikegeekmtdx but it's not.......

[doublet58]

@bikegeekmtdx u mother fucking bastard

[bikegeekmtdx]

@doublet58 Excuse me???

[ThePianoBro1]

I did not like this

[syncmaster710n14]

Red Light???

[MrPigy4]

no life

[NFS13EPIC]

u saved me $1

[IDKWHOITWAS55]

thumb down.

[HankIsAwsome]

stupid get the light changer app for i pod dummies

[donjuandonjuan]

I wouldn't do this much work even if it was legal but sounds perfectly sound. However people like "REDFLEX" are infamous with city's in changing red light timer's. REDFLEX is also known for there Scamera's. * Cough * I mean Red Light Camera's.

So I wouldn't even bother.

Still no pun intended.

[357chronic]

WHO IS THIS GUY? he's nuts! best vid i've seen ever! gotta get me a t-shirt.

[13killerx]

its gay lol

[UmonPour]

for this to happen you have to spend beeeeeeerss money on da fucking traffic light

[BeatDemon08]

this is a joke right?...

[CaptainProtonEIC]

i invested 8 minutes and 36 seconds on this crap. get a life you poop licker

[armyclay]

Damn cuz, you gots way tooooooo much time on your hands! Funny though

[KermitsGreenAss]

Scott how the hell did you get Ron Jeremy the legend to help you with this video???

funny vid by the way lol :)

[comando1993]

go up to your URL bar, put a Q between the words you and tube and then press enter or click go

[teo5151]

what teh fucks? This 40year-old virgin with teh mind of a 12 year-old tells me how to succeed??? Why on earth did I click this video?

[californiadreamerkid]

Buy a universal remote, program it to the code 9-1-1 (which is a strobe sequence)... When u come up to a red light point the remote at the traffic light and press a button tht relays the sequence of strobes (usually a volume button)... This immediately turns the light green for about ten to fifteen seconds. No lie, it works.. Try it b4 u give this comment a thumbs up/down

[hmuvee]

@californiadreamerkid

which remote n how do i program it

[californiadreamerkid]

@hmuvee the one that i used was a phillips but im pretty sure that anyone would work.... my friend used a toshiba one too... but to program it all u gota do is hit the program button and enter a three digit code 9-1-1..... that should do it.... for vid instructions check out the youtube video change traffic lights with a universal remote.... my friend made it

[supermandan85]

@ californiadreamerkid:

Thanks bud! :D

[doepboy310]

sucks asss this vid is gay

[DumaFire]

I Thaught U Were Gonna Do Something Funny And Stupid Or WTF. :\ I Like Funneh Vidz

[xavierserna]

lol fake it should have been all one take but it was multiple takes which means they have to stop and film somewhere else which means that some traffic lights where red so yeah FAKE!!!!!!

[natedm]

Fake? What part of parody did u think meant real dumbass

[gorgometh666]

All the time spent doing this is no different than sitting in traffic.

[seinoog]

how does he know ron jeremy

[NHComputerGeek]

lol, looks like you need to fix that dishwasher first :P

[DanielIwanow]

you waste fuel to drive in circles, just so you dont have to wait at a red light?!

you still wait, + you waste more fuel!

fail

[Progressence]

Hello Everyone. I did this completely. I time intervals around my town and the stop lights, Amazingly it DOES work, BUT! The only catch is you have to work your time schedule with this or ..its pointless. BUT IT does work. Its awesome xD.

[AbenteuerDauerfeuer1]

What's the song at the beginning called? =)

thx

[mrpotatfacemn8675309]

hey its dr. phil

[jayperelman]

[ThisKidIsADickHaHa]

How is this illegal?? Hes just keeping track of lights...Which probably wastes more time than waitng on them

[TheMickeybomb]

Oh dude i got some dum error on the last video i watch before this it change and the comment got on this video.

[theunbubba]

The streets of Knoxville, Tennessee!

Mostly around Fort Sanders.

[Smeddog1]

Damn-it Blake!!!! Its all your fault!!

[CoDxxRuLeS]

omg you are a loser its easier just to wait 10 seconds that waste ages timing fucking lights

[DaJaeff]

guys thats what the joke is all about dont you get it?

[drummerboy5192]

so you dont have time to wait at a traffic light but you have time to time all the traffic lights in your town and make maps and charts and put camras everywhere. just wait at a traffic light for 15 seconds.

[armpitdew]

not sure where you live but try 2.5 minutes (or 150 seconds).

[dillardd2000]

No its a path to your death

[Cubicleboy04]

Yo Scott, this is a really good stratagem... and Ima let you continue in a moment... BUT BEYONCE HAD ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS THIS YEAR!!!

[ScottSummitVentures]

True Cubicleboy04, Beyonce did create a good video. But this acclaimed Life Hacker does not endorse "All The Single Ladies". I do not condone dating & mating.

Thanks Scott, we molded your ideas to our corporate structure and you saved us over 3 million dollars anually. We would settle up and buy a t-shirt, but if we were in the business of spending money, where would that leave us? My accountant says he thinks he saw your driver on Americas most wanted so we turned him in. thanks again!
