Protection from Photo Radar???

Post by **HiOSilver** » Sun Oct 16, 2005 11:48 pm

There seems to be several choices out there for protection from photo radar. You can put a film on your license plate, spray it with different substances or cover it with a clear cover that reflects the light from the photo flash. I'm curious about the best protection or the best protection for the buck. Are there any new technologies out there with promise?

BobFV1 may be able to talk a Sherriff's Deputy into a verbal warning after getting caught at more than twice the legal speed (nice one Bob!

), but I haven't figured out how to do that with photo radar.

The so-called technologies that prevent the licence plate from being read are not really that effective. And all are illegal here in the UK.

The only fool proof way of avoiding a speeding fine is not to speed.

Knowing where the cameras are helps immensely.

They are all a waste of time. All it takes is a bit of tweeking in the computer and your number is there bright as day. There was a product some time ago advertised in the UK. The advert had a picture of the number plate, on which the the number was clearly visable. Don't suspect they sold many.

I don't know if this is reliable, but someone told me if you spray your plates with hairspray, it would not show up on film. Just something someone told me....

If there is a good, reliable method, I could use it.

Ok Frank, I'll bite. How did you get the 161mph max on the GPS. Did you pay for the optional 7th gear?

Geeze Frank...what were you riding?
Can I ride it?

It wasn't me, you can't prove it, and I wasn't there.

All I can say is that I no longer have the machine. I'd rather not say where it is, or what the machine was right now. It is for sale and I don't wish to ruin a sale for the party selling it. There are people who may think that riding a machine that fast is hard on it.

You never know, some people have strange ideas.

It was just announced today(Tuesday), city council voted 6-1 to put approximately twenty traffic cameras in and around downtown Columbus, with more to come. During an interview the mayor looked directly into the camera and stated that it's not big brother it's about safety. Well i can tell you right now that's BS, it's about the $$$$!

Chris..wear a dark face shield and a full face helmet. Arizona law says they have to be able to identify the offender BEFORE a photo radar ticket is issued. No ID..no ticket.
Yet another good reason to wear a full face...covering my ugly mug.
