Beating a speed camera redux

Just saw this ad on my affiliate network. It’s a cool way to escape speed cameras. You take their spray and spray it onto your license plates. You do this one time and your plates are protected.



How does this work ?

A majority of red light & speed cameras utilize a strong flash to photograph the license plate on your car. Once sprayed on your license plate, PhotoBlocker’s special formula produces a high-powered gloss that reflects the flash back towards the camera. This overexposes the image of your license plate, rendering the picture unreadable. With PhotoBlocker, your license plate is invisible to traffic cameras yet completely legible to the naked eye.

I so wish I had this when I got my huge speeding ticket. Speaking of speed limits, I hate the fact that there is a uniform speed limit and that the speed limit hasnt changed. Cars nowadays are engineered so much better. If I pay more for my car and the insurance company charges me higher taxes for it, I better be allowed to speed. I dont know about you but, when I drive with the cruise control on and within the speed limit (I did this once after I got my speeding ticket), I feel sleepy. There is absolutely nothing to do. The drive just gets infinitely boring. When you’re speeding, you have to be alert. When will the cops get this ?

This video proves the theory that if you’re travelling fast enough, a speed camera will not be able to catch your car. Take a shot at guessing the speed at which you’d need to be travelling to achieve this. I was way off. No, you do not need a Bugatti Veyron to do this. A decent car will do.
