No more speeding

Er no. They even have a law about how you must fix your plates on in France and they enforce it. They also have speed cameras. -

Pop onto Facebook and steal a few identities, then register your car under their indentity, so someone else gets all the tickets.
You can pay for the registration with their credit card as well...
...and you may as well get a mortgage under their name to pay for a Veyron since you won't be needing to worry about speed cameras any more.

Agreed and very handy it is too.Use cruise control
Set at 69 mph on the motorway and sit back and rest the feet.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The answer is...
High power infra-red LEDs fitted behind a semi transluscent numberplate.
CCD devices will be dazzled by the infra-red and so will not be able to "see" the registration number.

My solution was LED based too, but I wanted them to be black and yellow when off (so the plate is readable) but all one colour when on. Strobe them fast enough for the human eye to read them but in such a way as the shutter speed for the camera only gets an unreadable dot pattern. Or all black (or yellow) in response to the flash if poss.Originally posted by Churchill View PostThe answer is...

K.I.S.S.
Simply buy a blank plate with a metal backing then use magnetic alphanumerics to design your own registration. Then change the registration once it's attracted enough 'heat'.
For inspiration on valid registrations that you don't mind if the real owners (who happen to have the same make/model car as you, so probably helps if you've a Focus not R8!) take the rap, make a list of all the knobs at ex-clientco. I'm on my second sheet already and I only started listing them a couple of minutes ago.
On a more technological front, set up an ANPR like the rozzers have that identifies other cars of the same make/model and stores their numberplate for later use. As the icing on the cake, have it linked to your swanky electronic plates so the registration can be updated either in real time if you're cheeky, or at the push of a button.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

One of my patent "get your own back" solutions has been to have a car that matches the person who you want to shaft. Put their number on it then trip every camera you can find. Then put the plates back.Originally posted by PAH View PostK.I.S.S.

A couple of taxi drivers did that to our local senior police officer and the guy in charge of speed cameras at the local council.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

I had also considered an anti radar device that transmits on the received frequency. Bounce the signals back at a rate that shows you doing 300 mph.Originally posted by Churchill View PostGood idea, but overcomplicated.I am not qualified to give the above advice!
