It dont stop the camera taking the pic but the bright reflection of the flashbulb makes the image difficult to read, I reckon it would only work if kept beautifully clean.
Big problem is yellow backing is reflective but black numbers aint, if you could find reflective black plastic for the numbers and inset them into the backing so the the whole thing was flush that might cause probs.
But if the plod etc want to they can identify your motor by type, check all the reg nos and quite possibly yours is the only cortina with a f on the end of the plate, and only the f is visible on the pic.
unless you has an alibi you is still goin down.
But, Bikers, why make it easy, for them, stop in a layby take the plate off hide one of the screws put tother in your pocket stuff the plate up your barbour jacket and say the plate came loose and you are trying to find somewhere that sells suitable screws if stopped.
Suzuki across the back of your Kawasaki's seat is going to confuse plod as is changing the appearance of the bike after every fast run, change anything visible from behind, get several different size shape number plates, carriers, seat tails, stickers, rear pegs etc, dont forget those white builders vans also have cameras and also watch for foot plod with hairdryers.
I found removing the number plate cleaning it coating it with a layer of grease and covering with dust swept from the workshop floor works well, clean the plate with a brillo pad to give a good key, and redo when the numbers become visible.
I personally try to stick to speed limits but this is not infallible as some cameras are calibrated for 40 in 50/60/70 zones especially on Motorways when roadworks have moved on, always best to slow to 40 on Motorways 30 elsewhere when passing Gatsos,
I caused a shunt at Countess Weir Exeter doing this but what the hell, I was not hit so I didn't get points did I.
Dont forget Gatsos are revenue raisers and eyesight tests, sod all to do with safety, You never see them in town centres do you |

If you stick to the speed limit you wouldn't need reflective spray.
All the people Killed (or their families) because of someone even driving a little over the limit would probably hope you got some kind of come uppence for speeding.
Speed limits are there for a reason. |

no it doesn't work, but spend the money on it anyhow in addition to the fines you are sure to earn. |

only driving on or under the speed limit will stop the camera from taking a picture.. what you should ask is will the number plate show in the picture.. and would you really take the word of anyone on here that it does or doesn't.. it's your driving licence

No it wont prevent the camera taking the photo but hopefully it will reflect the flash & ur number plate will b unreadable. |

Actually El Diabl020, you can be fined for having an unreadable Number Plate and that includes having it obscured by mud.
EDIT - fair enough El Diabl020, I should have taken that into consideration, but it is illegal to do that in the UK.
Simple answer to the original question - don't speed past a speed camera! |

First of all you shouldn't be needing anything like that in the first place if you observe the speed limits. The stuff you're on about is illegal to use and if a police car spots that you have it on (which they can now) you'll be in DEEP trouble and the fine you'll get for using it will be much greater than the £60 you'll have to pay for being flashed by a speed camera.
In conclusion.. don't speed and you won't get caught. Simple. |

Yep it works but if you get caught.... |

Thats absolute crap. They can use software to reverse the image so don't go speeding past the cameras |

A better idea is to hide certain digits and codes with Mud, or an artifical thing that looks like mud.
That way if the cops pull you over, or someone points it out, all you have to say is that it must've got on today and it wasn't your fault.
You can't be arrested for Mud "ACCIDENTLY" spraying on your number plate now,, can ya?
@Leo - Perhaps it's a diff in our country's laws. Living in a dusty city, where roads are often muddy, mud can easily fly around and stick to your number plate. It's not possible for you to even be aware of such a thing if it happens while you're in the care.
EDIT - Try the grease/oil/sticky stuff and dirt/mud method. |

I ride a motorbike and often break the speed limit well all the time really but i reccomend buying a funny looking plate with odd numerals or even better just dont use a plate. If you get caught you just say it fell off. I have done that before. There is only a fine and no points. |

They are illegal to use them you can buy them which isn't illegal.
If you caught using them the fine would probably be greater. |

no , you fool, (kidding), nothing can...dont you think might have thoght of that, if you mean at a stop light, no, i've seen enuf info to say that it is next to impossible, the police have tested many ,many items and some may make it blurry, they have computers to fix that... so |

No. For it to work, the license plate would have to reflect some light source (the camera's flash, the sun, headlights, or something similar) directly into the camera. Since cameras are often placed on the side of the road or on something well above the vehicle (both at a good angle to the license plate), there is very little chance of a reliable reflection straight into the camera. |

Just use fake plates and if you see blue lights in your mirrors, go faster till they're gone...but watch out for tha CHOPPA!!! Go the legal route if all else fails - i've got off 2 of my 4 convictions now through legal bumf...worth looking into! ;) |

the answer is YES....now go and try it. Hopefully it wont be long til idiots like you hand their driving licence over to the DVLA! or die trying! |

Melc, you are brainwashed. MOST speed limits are for the purpose of raising revenue, NOT for safety. You and your ilk make speeders out to be minions of Satan himself. Geez, get a life. While speed may be a FACTOR in the severity of an accident, it is not usually the CAUSE of it. |
