Avoid that ticket!

I was searching through the net when I found this site. They claim that their spray makes your licence plate so shinny that it reflects the flash and prevents the licence plate from being read. I guess it sounds good.

However, would this increase your radar sig when it comes to radar and laser?

But what if you get pulled over.. wouldn't they notice it? Best way to avoid the ticket would to NOT Speed at all in the first place. That or don't drive at all.

Yeah, I heard about this spray. ati9700pro how do you know that it works? Have you ran a couple of reds or sped through an intersection an got away with it?
I just want to know because I'm looking to get that spray for my license plates.
I got a pic taken of me and my car at an intersection going 8MPH over the speed limit. I want to make sure that **** doesnt happen again.

Ya, i took mine off to spray, then let it dry for a bit, put em back on and ready to go, no, its not that i dont obey the traffic speed, but when you are only going like 3km over the limit, those things are computercontrolled, so even the slightest bit over and it will flash you. My friend was going 52 in a 50 and it flashed him. Honestly.

Wow, thats rather fruity. Out here they don't flash unless you are going 10MPH over the limit.

i personally read that if it does work it is illegal. this and the laser blocker thingy. the reason is that you are messing around with or violates destruction police property. now if you have a radar detector it is difference. now the reason this is legal is that it is not interfering with police property at all, thus it is an information device.

of course it is illegal, but how are they going to know its your car? There are thousands of cars that go through every day. Plus they dont have your license plate to they cant do ****.

If the police are behind you and they catch a glare off your plate...they're probably gonna pull you over. Plates arent supposed to be shiny...just the numbers and letters

Are you guys spraying this right on your plate? or are you using a clear cover and spraying that?

According to the news video in the site, your sprayed license plate will only reflect from the strong flash that the photo radar produces, belive me, it is a damn strong flash.

The reflection of the flash causes for your license plate to come out unreadable in the picture that was taken. Regular vehicle headlights are not supposed to make a big difference on the glare.

Thanks for the info ati9700pro, now I know that the spray is worth the money and I will order it.
