oops... (was Re: Nology)

[Marc Piccioni]

We have photo radar here in Alberta, most of the time they park on the 
right hand side of the road. All that is needed is to bend the right edge 
of the plate 45 deg. this way the camera can't read the last digit. It 
works.

In NZ if they catch you covering your plate in any way, you are in big
trouble. If a copper was following you, he might notice that your  plate
doesn't refelect like it should. At night, even dirty Plates light up from
100's of metres away.

My personal system would look a bit odd on most cars. I drive a mini which 
has
a number plate hanging under the front bumper, with the bottom edge about 4
inches above the ground. Mine is rather loosely attached and is bent in 
such a
way that it hangs straight when you are stationary, but flies up under the
bumper enough to dissapear when you are moving.

The only problem is if you see the camera and hit the brakes, then it 
probably
reappears.

Doesn't work on the rear plate though.
