Hiding Number Plates

now i feel stupid for being so polite, i should have just said what i wanted to..

why is he an idiot?? Or are you just trying to jump on the band wagon?

So you have never ever broken a law?

You mean buying a product to hide / cover number plates.

No.

No, that isnt the question.. How do you know he is intending on breaking the law, or your just assuming this...

"I am interested in two issues
Do they work?
What are the legal issues in NSW? "

Should we ask for a jury to decide ?

So you assumed the worst.

Hell yeah.

How does a person come across a site promoting .....

"The Protector licence plate covers will make your registration plates invisible to photo speed cameras, photo laser cameras and red light cameras. These covers use special light bending technology to make your plates "ghost-out" so that the plate is unreadable to speed cameras, red light cameras and laser speed cameras."

"This specially designed Anti-laser license plate shield works to absorb and diffuse the incoming laser beam from a laser speed gun. The scattering effect significantly shortens the effective distance of the laser gun allowing drivers time to react. The number plate is the most reflective part of a vehicle front and it is used as the aiming point by laser gun operators."

"

EVEN INNOCENT DRIVERS ARE WRONGFULLY CHARGED FOR SPEEDING - RADAR REFLECTIONS

Speed Cameras and Radar Guns are prone to radar reflections off metal objects such as signs, fences, trucks and guard rails. Laser guns are prone to "slippage" a term used for errors caused by unstable movement of the laser measurement device. Thought you were within the limit? You were, but the ticket will say otherwise! Most governments can't resist the urge to earn easy revenue. They want YOUR money and as much as they can get.

These speed devices are irregularly serviced and prone to calibration faults not to mention site setup selection mistakes and operator errors. Unless you are as rich as Bill Gates, your chances of proving yourself innoscent are zero.

Don't cry foul when you get your next $300.00 speeding fine for 68km/h in 60 zone. Remember I told you so!

Read some of the information and testimonials.

"I live in Victoria and recently bought some Ghost Plates from you. I thought you might like some feedback on them. The covers have saved me 7 out of 9 times over the last 6 months. There bloody excellent. I've sent a few of my mates to your site to buy them also. They ride bikes and get pinged fairly often. Not any more :-)"


Come on Truckster.....

Next thing you will be racing trains.....

Truckster and Train

Now that is two words you don't need in one sentence...

DID SOMEBODY SAY DOUGHNUTS????? MMMMmmmmmmm.

Those plate covers which obscure at an angle do work (a couple of acquaintances have them on their bikes), but it's EXTREMELY obvious to anyone following (including the Fuzz) that you are using one. Just move off centre and the plate turns a hazy white.

The spray on solutions don't work. Sort of like them catalyst thingies :-)

I'm not going to lecture, suffice to say I wouldn't consider using any of these devices myself ....

Is breaking the law only an issue when it comes down to road rules or do other laws count too?
1) He did ask if it was against the law ( I presume he wouldn't even consider it if it was!)
2) Isn't making a false public statement about someone against the law? What I mean is...Has he really got a bleep growing out of his head? and Are you absolutely sure beyond all reasonable doubt that he drives up sand hills and does do nuts on the beach.
3) Think back to tax time Derek....you didn't try and claim something you weren't completely entitled to or forget about that battery you sold to your mate and didn't declare???
Careful now mate. anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of do-gooders. But luckily you do have the right to remain silent and not be banished to the fiery bits of hell with all us other non-members.
Cheers

Good For You....

damn right good for me.

;-)

Truckster bring it on to the home front , how are you going to call it / react when / if your young fella gets knocked over by a vehicle "just doing a couple of k over " the speed limit and to top it off the vehicle ID, the number plate is illegible , "damn right good for me" , no recourse , can just about hear the screams from 2000k away.

Sorry, I'm with Truckster on this one.

I would feel like the world had colapsed on top of me if one of my kids got hit by a vehicle. Weather that car was doing 60kph or 64kph when it hit them woulnd't make much difference to me.

jeffwa ,you can be with Truckster all you like , point is not 60 or 64 , if it ever happened the tune would change to "some ef%^&$# plick" was speeding and hit MY child and to top it off his number plate was unable to be read not because of the speed but because he has gone out of his way to break the law , its not a matter of being an angel that has never broken the law aka: speed ect , it is about INTENTIONALY breaking the law / road rules , its pretty simple realy , if you don't speed you have a 99% less chance of an "accident" and that is a term that should not even be used when it involves a vehicle or contributing extra to the government coffers thru a fine.

I think you missed the point. I would be saying " "some ef%^&$# plick" and hit MY child" regardless. If they were dead or seriously injured, it would not make any difference. Just like the 4kms wouldn't. It would have been the lack of attention, skill, witts and bad luck that caused it, not 4kph.

I also like the way that you insinuate that because someone has put somthing in place to protect them from the governments profitering that they would automatically speed off after accidently hitting a child on the street.... That really is more to do with the persons demenor or morals and is not related to the topic on hand at all.

jeffwa , sorry but in my book and in the road rules / laws there is no such thing as "bad luck" , and as for the persons demenor / morals , the only reason why any person would need /require a device to obscure their number plate is ?????? to not be caught breaking the rules / law , end of story. You and others have the right to call it proffitering / revenue raising /whatever , thing is it is the law , and quite simply if we obey the law we dont contribute to that "revenue raising"

Axel... One day you'll learn....

When you get a speeding ticket because you were doing 4k's over the limit while sneezing going down hill through a speed change.

jeffwa , there is nothing to learn , the post question was about an item specificly designed to break the road laws , nothing more nothing less , if you think that it is alright to do so [ break the law ] so be it , but as in my 1st reply to Truckster , the scream of despair will be heard for miles and then the attitude of its "only 4k over " WILL change , never mind the sneeze , any bleep ant excuse will do till then.

More assumptions. Just because he wants to fit this accessory to his vehicle does not mean that he wants to nor intends to break the law.

If you seriously think that you have never accidently gone over any speed limit anywhere unintentionally then you are kidding yourself. Just because you have sped before Alex, does not mean that you went out there to do it on purpose or that it made any difference to anyones saftey at that time.

If he was hell bent on breaking the law, do you think he would have bothered to come on here and ask if they were legal?? Why would he bother?

For crying out loud , jeffwa , read the damn post ,go to the site that pertains to the plate cover , they have 1 purpose and 1 purpose only ,and that is to INTENTIONALLY break the law , nothing else , no creeping over the limit going down a hill ,no nothing except to get away with speeding , and the Question was "do they work " , enough already !!

I'm sorry but I have not read from the person who started the thread that he was planning on intentionally speeding, and I believe it to be very arrogant of you to assume his intentions.

I have thought about those things before myself, but have not proceeded as they are illegal. I do not intentionally speed, but I have been booked for speeding. When you spend as much time on the road as I do with these rediculous hidden speed cameras in areas that are planned to catch you and provide the state government with as bigger winfall as possible, it is not a matter of if you get a fine, it's when.

I don't give a crap what the manufactuer intended an accessories use to be, it's wheather or not it will perform the task I need it to do.

You are also assuming with your arrogance that I have not read the post, when I have.

Excuse my obvious ignorance jeffwa , but I was allways under the impression that if I wanted to buy an item designed to break the law that that was my intended purpose , because what the truck would I want it for otherwise , by the way could you please tell me if it is against the law to buy the 3 kiloton nuke for sale on ebay , not that I want to use it for anything illegal mind you , just thought it might come in handy to get rid of the odd red light camera because they are only revenue raisers ,

Well, I think you’ve finally convinced me.

Just imagine a world where nobody speeds, not even by 1km per hour.

Insurance companies would go broke, there’d be no claims ever again.
My two year old could freely ride her tricycle in the middle of the street and be perfectly safe, as no one would be speeding.

Wow. It’s so simple.

Oh I can just see THAT happening....... "would you like to hear my Stereo while you check my car over officer?"

Lol

Nice....

True!
Go to ThreadID: 46607
You might even get my number!
And I did make it over if your interested....It took about 18 years of environmental damage though, as I'm sure you can see by the devastation of the country side.

Steady on, their walking frames will crack if you expect them to give people a break LMAO!!!

The bloke is fine, Truckster is out of line, if he had lost some one close to him through road carnage for a couple of k over he wouldn't respond as he has. A couple of k over is all it took for death in my experence.
Wazzaaaa

think of it this way, instead of "a couple" over, if that car was doing 20k's over, he would have passed that situation you "experienced" before it happened..

you never ever sped in your life wazzaaaaaa?? Faeces, or hypocrite?

high horses?? these people are on the Space Station when they feel they are in submarines.

Urrr...whats that got do do with the product in question.
I must have missed the bit where he said....Will this stop the cops busting us while running our illegal drags past the local pre-scholl at 3.00pm?????
And COWARD...come on thats geting a bit harsh sint it?

My point was if you want to speed there is a time and a place, you don't need to cover your # plate to do it.

If you want to break the law and hide from it or not face it, Yes you are a coward.

Steve.

Yes, only members are law abiding citizens of australia..

Happy not to pay for membership...

Gday Saint Dereck,
If I become a member will all my sins be washed away?
Or have I already been banished to a eternity in the firery pit?
LOL

I may be a non member however I have made purchases from advertisers of this site hence support them and their products.
So get get your bloody high horse about being better just because you choose to be a member.

I'm not a member and take offence to that comment, no way will i join here again (used to be a member) the benifits are not worth $50 i can get everything on here on other forums for nothing so why would you bother.

Bloody twirp, assuming non members are more likely to commit illegal acts.

Oh yeah and if Por 1 wants to waste his money and try these products then it's a free country of sorts.

Happy being a visitor, Baz.

Lots of twirps on here these days Baz, the place has grown too big. I let my membership go also, just wasn't the enjoyment for me like there used to be.

Proud being visitor, Ray

Me too Ray.. I let mine lapse.. :P

hows the lux?

Nah you're a legend Bruce, longest serving non member, haha, gotta be some credit in that :)

Coming up to 3 years I've had the lux now and it's proven to be very reliable and tough. I know it had a hard life before I got my hands on it but all I've had to do is replace the radiator. I'd like something with a bit more power and some extra comfort to take the family camping but I'm relucant to part with it so I'll just go slow and leave the kids at home :)

Hmmm, Sorry Derek but I'm gonna blow your theory out the window !
I'm 100% with Truckster, Hairy and Jefwa (sorry if misspelt mate)
I can also think of 2 other 'members' off the top of my head that think along the same lines as me and drive/ride according to common sense, not stupid, brainwashing road rules, most, not all, of which have been designed specifically to lighten our pockets and have stuff all to do with "safety".

Avagoodn
Pezza

ooh, careful there! Some "Members" will have you sent to hell for that one...

c&d are not against the law, mates a copper.

I got pulled up for that once.

I was towing my jayco back from the vic high country and was pulled up by the cops running some sort of check point.

They went right over the van and car looking for anything to get me for.

They picked me up for not displaying a rego sticker on the van - it had fallen off and I showed them the broken plastic stub where it had been. They also pinged me for an obscured rear number plate on the Paj - it had mud on it.

What!!!? It was obscured far more effectively by the van!

Those bokes had no sense of humour.

Pete

I agree, as long as the law breakers don't take innocent children and families with them.

That's funny coming from someone who thinks nothing of sitting on 140kph in a fully loaded 4WD towing a van/camper.

A bit hypercritical don't you think??

BUSTED!!!!
Is that a sandhill??????
Look at the photo.....mmmm
Careful now youll have your memberswhip taken away.
LOL

Ignore the above, it's broken

www.wor.org

Gday,
I dont know what your speed limits are but 70km through a school zone is hardly a couple of kms over where I come from.

Hairy,

I would suggest anything over the limit in a school zone is a problem which is why there are limits. I agree 70 was quick.

All i can add to that is, god help you if you had mentioned you drove a Land Rover.

Most people on here are helpfull as long as you drive the 4WD they drive, use the fridge they use, have the same tyres they have, have the same camper/caravan/tent they have and so on and so on, oh and be a member;-))

Baz.

I have been posting and reading on this site for 3 or 4 years. This is one thread that has exposed some members for the self righteous, preaching, herded sheep that they are. Great to see there are still some people who can see through the propaganda and judge speed cameras for the revenue raising tool they are.
I have nothing against fining people for travelling at an unsafe inappropriate speed. Look at the placement of these revenue raising tools. Are they doing that.
Well said Hairy and Truckster.

Lucky you're a speed reader. ;-))))

True words of wisdom ,"speed safely" , trouble is the only way to speed with even a fraction of safety is on a race track ,and you don't need to hide your number plate then , speed = safety ???? yeah right , tell that to those who have died , even the best of the best lose it because of speed , aka: Mr Peter {perfect} Brock go for it Stu-k , be assured that at least 2 people will be at your funeral ,only because they get paid to be there.

www.safespeed.org.uk/

So you think because you never go over the government set speed limit you cant get hurt? Do you really think a 100kph head on you will walk away fine but if you were doing 105kph you would have died? How about the people that have died from other things on our roads while the police focus on speeding by 5ks an hour?

For instance the young female drivers that have died in my area lately, one was send a sms and drove head on into my mates tip truck...dead instantly but I am sure she wasn't speeding. The other backed out of a driveway in front of a garbage truck and he wasn't speeding either.

Its a shocking waste of life but at least the police have speed cameras there daily now to make it look like they are doing something.

I think people need to drive to suit the conditions and should be forced to take defencive driving courses to even get a licence.

As for brock road RACING is dangerous and is nothing at all like speeding.
If you a brainwashed boring old fart that's up to you, I was simply replying to someones question and I was really hoping to see you at my funeral...oh that's right I will be dead anyways so don't worry bout it!

Cheers
Stu

That's true Stu I saw it on tele. around town up to 60 nothing can happen, impossible to hit anyone if I keep below the limit.

`STU pid , just so you know , I've buried and cremated more than 10,000 bodies ,the saddest are little effwitts like yourself who think they are invincible, one day you may learn , their is no such thing as "speed safely" , but you can be assured that there will be at least 2 people [undertakers] at your funeral who realy don't give a rats about YOU because you were STUpid

LOL people said you weren't funny, your a joke.
I think Its great you get to burn people all day to, you must be so highly qualified for that job.
There is no such thing as safe transportation.... see you in hell!

Hugs and kisses
Stu

Why do some of you people think that by sticking to the speed limit you are driving safely ???????

And if you go over the limit by 10K's you are driving unsafe ????

Get real..........most speed limits are determined by some "expert" driving around the countryside who "thinks" that that would be an appropriate speed for that area !!!!

By the sound of it, some of you shouldn't be going over 60K's an hour !!!!!

In Germany, you can travel on a freeway at 250kph, but in Australia its unsafe at 120 ?????? Maybe some of you should learn how to drive properly..eh!!!!!!

Last week you would have been put down for driving like a lunatic at 68 in a 60 zone and this week someone bips their horn at you for doing 63 ??

All the do gooders don't know themselves when they are driving safe or not..........they look at the signs and PRESUME they are a safe driver because they are under the limit !!!!!!

Did you know that some countries book people for going too slow !!!!!! Bring it out here as well

I have never seen anything illegal

Speed Safely
