A solution to speed/red light cameras !

alecrain · 13-10-2007, 12:23 AM

Few years ago, (I was living in Poland then) there was a commercial on TV for this product that you SPRAY ON YOUR REGO (it's invisible to naked eye) and when speed camera (or red light camera) flashes to take the picture THE REGO IS GLARING (just like trying to take a flash picture in the mirror) and the registration number is impossible to read.

The product was (supposedly developed in US) and it came to Europe where it's legal- as it doesn't obstruct the rego.

Here's the link to the first one that I found on ebay, there might be more :

Have you heard about it here?Ebay 2

Mythbusters prove that it doesn't work.

Plus their is a disclaimer on the cans saying that they accept no responsibility if you get caught. The company really backs its product....

Mongoose · 13-10-2007, 12:30 AM

They tried this on mythbusters, dosent quite work (the one they had anyway). Still prefer the revolving james bond style number plates to aviod detection

alecrain · 13-10-2007, 12:33 AM

Thanks guys,
I'd trust the Mythbusters !

asusdragon · 13-10-2007, 12:39 AM

yeah best idea james bond revolving number plates but i remember them from the transporter, the other idea is a nice big mirror on the back of you car but i dont think this will last long

[Tonko] · 13-10-2007, 12:55 AM

Myth...
New cameras are Infa-red anyways, there is no flash.

P6LTD351 · 13-10-2007, 01:11 AM

Or..you could maybe try the foolproof method.....don't bloody speed, and don't go through red lights....hmmm.......maybe I'm onto something there....hmmm

i am willing to BUY the rights to your idea!!

haha, mate the same thing happens when you spray hair spray onto it :P (is what i've heard)

broken_suave · 13-10-2007, 01:41 AM

Yeah, and theres other myths like covering your number plate with layers of glad wrap. As previously mentioned, cameras are all infra-red now, and the only tried and true method is to not speed ;)

LOL yes there is. You cant see it in the day but boy can you at night!

If you drive fast enough, speed camera cant capture u. It's been tested.

Have you heard about it here?Ebay 2

This is available in OZ ... http://www.stopflash.com.au/ but it doesn't work. I sprayed it on my wife's car and she got done for 69 in a 60 area and the photo of her plate on the notice was as clear as a bell.

Bucknaked · 13-10-2007, 07:46 AM

Heres the best way not to get caught. Don't break the road rules. I know it's a revolutionary concept, but it does work.

Yaw · 13-10-2007, 08:12 AM

Apart from everyone else that has said Mythbusters...which i also saw, there was also an Australian police show that showed what it actually looks like when the photo is taken, it makes the number plate a bright light, whch they just filter out and get your rego anyway with the software they have.

I however have worked out a way to beat speed cameras, rego searches, or bascially any crime you may wish to do involving a car.

*****PLEASE NOTE I WOULD NEVER DO THIS MYSELF,I have only thought about it becuase it amuses me***************

What you do is own a common car, for instance a white au falcon sedan.
Order personalised plates just normal ones, not a fancy design one.
Maybe a black with white writing plate, something like that.
Then the personalisiation you order is one of these two combinations:
ADVISE or TBA
This would work in Qld and possibly NSW due to the way CTP insurance works
If you search the data base under either of those it gets too many hits and will not perform the search because quite often when those are the abreviations used by RTA or QT when the rego has not been assigned yet, hence having 100's of the same combination on thier system.
TBA stands for to be advised, I think ADVISE is self explanitory.
The reason for the common type car is just to make it harder to track down and more likely to be other common type cars like that on the data base.

James bond style:

can't seem to find the others that they tested

TwistedEL · 13-10-2007, 09:34 AM

I have heard of a device that can detect a flash, and instantly set off a flash of its own
The idea being that the picture comes out as a bright light and not much else

I dunno if it works or not but it's a hilarious concept

**redxm** · 13-10-2007, 11:26 AM

The speeding fine will be a LOT cheaper than the fine for using a device to avoid detection. Lift off your right foot and all will be sweet

They tested this on top gear but needed to go insanely fast. i'm pretty sure they did it with a zonda or similar car.

**Elks** · 13-10-2007, 01:26 PM

It's easy to say dont speed, and I agree with that as a concept but check this out next time you go for a drive.

The differnce between coasting along at 60 or 67km/ph in a wayout weapon such as a 4.0 auto falcon is less than 100 rpm. It takes concentration to stay 55 to 60 without cruise etc.

In 50 zones I lock out overdrive.

The 40km limits in Carlton & Fitztroy, 1400rpm in 2nd = 40kph. Idle speed in 4th will coast at 45. There is a camera on most corners down Johnston st.

The thing is in Melb I cannot take a trip without passing one and on most days 6 or 7. The margin for error is Zero. The punishment harsh.

I would not be risking my precious few points left on something like this.

Oh, for the record I haven't been cought doing more than 10k over the limit for years.

AC/DC · 13-10-2007, 01:56 PM

I found Matt Black spray paint on my number plate worked a treat

Walt Kowalski · 13-10-2007, 02:25 PM

Apparently if you remove the number plates the camera cannot detect your rego no.

Yeah and I hope if I was on the same road as you, that you would actually
be using "concentration". We all know that cameras are a good revenue raiser, however, DON'T SPEED and you don't get fined. Simple. If you find it difficult to cruise between 55 and 60, then maybe you need to go down to 50 - 55 until you have mastered that. I know this sounds harsh, but I'm sick of people blaming everyone else except themselves. My friend was complaining because he got caught doing 45 in a 25kmh zone. His excuse was that it was 2am and there weren't any roadworks or workers. They probably left the signs there. Yes, that is annoying, however, if the sign says 25 and it is still there, you must abide by that limit. End of story.

El Sucio · 13-10-2007, 03:12 PM

A coordinated sniper attack on all speed cameras across the country by a secretive grass roots guerilla movement would also be effective.

Something powerful like a 50 cal round right through the radar box should take it out of action.

I wonder what it would cost to replace them all at once.

I can only dream....

Yes they worked it out that you have to travel at speeds of 270km/h+ and they did in in a TVR Tuscan. The camera didnt flash at all at those speeds.

Yeh a well placed 12.7mm HE round would make extremely light work of any Multinova...there would be nothing left

It may actually get to that stage over here, I heard some gangs shot up a fixed camera in Melbourne a few weeks ago.

Look at the UK...they've destroyed over 400 of these speed cameras over there already. Now the UK Govt want's to put up reinforced fire resistance speed camera's...

Jeez eb2Monty you are harsh. I was struggling to find the right words to use there and you jumped on me.

I travell in ecess of 60,000km most years for 20+ years. You can be sure that I would be concentrating andthat you will be safe on the road with me.

My point is, that any normal driver in normal traffic with roads that go up and down hills with trucks and trams and traffic lights to stop and go, must today pay a level of attention to speed that is unprecedented.

In the 30 km I travelled from work to home since my last post I have been through 2 red light camera's, 2 speed & red light camera, past 2 patrol cars with radar (ring rd greensborough) and 1 cruising patrol car.

There are in excess of 100,000 victorians on verge of losing their licence, so it's not just the luntic fringe we are talking about. I recently travelled 4000km through SA (where they have the 25km limits for road works) and at 118 on a 110 road just north of Pimba, the cops just waved, I crapped because I copped it for 64 in a 60 zone back here.

There is NO ALTERNATIVE but to back off. You speed wou WILL get caught.

I accept responisbility for my actions, I assume that you do to, so therefore ave never exceeded the speed limit, either intentionally or otherwise or you could not be so high & mighty.

I don't know, but I bet they would spend the money whatever the cost

Bayvu · 13-10-2007, 11:38 PM

Can anyone truly tell me the speed they are doing without using a GPS. It is quite amazing to see how far our speedos are out. ADR's dictate they must be within 10% accuracy and in Victoria we get 3 kph grace.

I've been done for 55 in a 50 zone and 107 in a 100 in my 4wd with speed cameras until I realised my new tyres were larger and thus reading slower. Copped the fines but ****ed off as a 10% allowance as per the design rules would have prevented me from being fined.

They are the only fines I have had in 29 years of driving and I am very careful and attenive to speed, but we can still cop it whilst being careful.

Just my 2 cents worth.
