hey
i was surfing the forums and some guy said people in japan have their license plate on a tilt to prevent speed cameras like this:

Do guys think it'll work?

Dunno.....care to try it?:D

Over here tilting or obscuring plates = hefty fine or even a defect notice. The plate holders that blur the numbers etc to a camera are illegal and also lead to defect notice. Nasty if you get caught out which a lot of people have. Not speeding would prolly be a better way to avoid the cameras :flipa:

I heard you can get licence plate covers that look exactly like those plastic ones that normal ppl use...when the flash is taken...it reflects and the pic is stuffed...

i don't think we can do that in nz

An alternative to fixing the plate back at the angle shown is to attach it with hinges, so it will swing back at speed... ;)

A judge just ruled that speed cameras are UNconstitutional over here... today is a beautiful day. :)

Tannee's looking for something else to get defected on :finger:

Tanne, it's illegal to sell them and illegal to have them on your car... do you even read my posts? :p

Heheh - between Americans and their constitution I'm amazed they survive at all as a species :D

LOL...

nah i dont...coz you write too much...and my attention span is not that long....:D :D

jay@af's idea about hinges I have seen.

ABout 2 years ago i saw a mx5, which when it went faster its plate went up!! ONly problem is how do you do this to your rear number plate.

Or you could get one of the fancy radar detectors, that has GPS so you can program in pole-mounted cameras locations.

:eek: :eek: call me stoopid,but I never noticed that you are a kiwi before!!!!!:eek: :eek:

where abouts,mate!:D

There is also a way to paint laquer onto your numberplate cover that I know of. I won't detail it here as it is highly illegal, but if ya really wanna know, email me.

the hinge idea wouldn't work.... as my uncle has been pulled over for having his number plate loose, and it was flipping when he drove...he didn't know though.

oh, and my front number plate slightly tilts due to the mesh and kit, but no, I'm sure it wouldn't make a difference considering most speed cameras are taken from behind :p

heheh - I wasn't going to state the obvious with that one Q. Going to leave them to their innovations in number plate mounting :D

There was a 'white power'organisation here trying to raise funds by selling a aerosol spray laquer kit that sounds remarkably similar....in a 'Fair Go' consumer test it was shown to be very difficult to do properly.

its called trial and error...learn from your mistakes....:D

Or you can do what one of the guys at work did...put cardboard number plates on your car with Traffic written on them, then go past all the speed cameras in Sydney and test them...

Ofcourse, it would be better suited to common cars....not easily identifiable ones. He has a WRX so it wasn't too bad.

Why not just stick to speeds? I know, I know. Then why not buy a radar detector?

I've been pretty good lately...sticking to the speed limits...but then again...haven't been driving my car as much....

but sometimes going the speed limit in 50 and 60 in the teg...feels so dam slow....like I'm crawling.

Ummm Oz, Radar Detectors are illegal and yes, they can detect them. This I found out the hard way when I used my old uniden after they were made illegal.

The stupid thing is that I drove slower with it than without it, everything set it off, door detectors, microwaves etc so you didn't take chances.
