Jason Niccum of Longment told the Daily Times-Call that the device,which he bought on Ebay for $100,helped him cut his time driving to work.
He says,"I guess in the two years I had it,that thing paid for itself".
The device is similar to the firefighters use to change lights when they respond to emergencies. It emits an infrared pulse that receivers on the traffic lights pick up.
Niccum was cited after city traffic engineers who noticed repeated traffic-light disruptions on certain intersections spotted a white Ford pickup passing by whenever the light patterns were disrupted.
