Way to prevent speed cameras

[Buzzr]

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?

[taranaki]

Dunno.....care to try it?

[Setanta]

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

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?

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

LOL...

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.

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

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

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.
