More sound xoggoth science - how to defeat speed cameras

[motoukenin]

An even better way

I am selling Japaneese number plates to anyone interested , let them try deciphering them and then calling the registry here to find out who they belong too.

Prices start at 10000 Yen

Tuned to vascar

Unfortunately, Vascar is done by human eye and the push of an electronic button. Impossible to fool.

But with a Gatso, all you need is a radar detector that activates black pixels on an lcd cover over your plates - then you're home and dry.

After the usual extensive research I have come up with a foolproof plan.

Film in these cameras is cheap and not very discriminating as regards colour. Therefore, if you go through them at 45.6% the speed of light the consequent doppler shift will ensure that they are unable to distinguish the yellow or white surround from the black numbers on your number plate.

Reading this thread and xog's other about the skinny dippers I was struck, or cross-fertilized if you like, by an idea for another foolproof camera-dodging scheme: buttock-shaped number plates.

I'm not suggesting a camera could be embarrased or anything, but perhaps the cheek angle might deflect enough light to make the plate unreadable by machine even though it would pass the DoT legibility tests.

Also, "buttock plates" as I call them would discourage tail gaters, as no one wants to drive up someone else's arse.

You speak for yourself hoot. Personally I always get turned on by putting back those supermarket trolleys that you stack by shoving into the back of the other ones. No wonder they can get away with paying supermarket workers so little with fringe benefits like that.
