And I believe it works in proximity, so you don't need to be directly over it. Any large mass of metal is sufficent to trigger it, so it doesn't matter if you vehicle is front or rear engined.
Of course Canberra might be completely different, it is in its own bubble after all. |
Good to know about the tech, but I can assure you that -at least here - the things wont trigger unless you are over it or very close. I once sat at a set of lights on Sydney Ave here with a big Yank tank ahead not on the area...no turn light... i backed up, turned left instead. They were still waiting even after I did a (slightly illegal
) U turn.
Pretty positive they won’t trigger if the car stops a car length behind the area...which is endemic here. I can’t fathom why they won’t stop at the line
