Default Magic Paint

I heard today that you can buy a paint spray which renders your number plate invisible to police cameras.

Does anyone have any experience that it works, or would I just be wasting my money?

I've seen this stuff reviewed on the news and the consensus was that it doesn't work. It's also illegal most places in the US. I think the theory behind it was that it will cause a glare in the image from the camera flash.

This stuff isn't too bad, but there's no replacement for driving the speed limit.

There's no replacement for speed limits that make sense.

But we don't have any of those.

All we have is revenue makers for politicians. :roll:

^I'll buy that. We've got some crazy limits here as well - like straight, smooth service drives with little traffic...and a 35mph limit.

1) it doesn't work
2) its illegal so you'll get done for speeding and tampering with your plate

The same goes for the backflash system that was around a year or so ago.

Your best bet is to get a GPS / Radar system like the Origin B2
