    Try spraying your number plate with photoblocker

    And

    a) when you subsequently get a NIP for speeding, realise they don't work

    or

    b) when you get stopped by the Police, get prosecuted for applying the stuff to your number plate.


    Personally I go for the completely legal speed camera POI warning method on my PocketPC SatNav. 40,000 miles per year. 9 points before, no points since! Great for warning me about accident blackspots as well, as OF COURSE all speed cameras are in these locations and AREN'T arbitrarily located to generate revenue...

    And before anyone flames me for speeding, EVERYONE exceeds the speed limit at one time or another somewhere. If you say you NEVER have, you're lying.

    It only works on some speed cameras though, and they're the older type.

    i got done recently and my form said the same thing, but i was only doing 43 in a 40 zone but still got £60 fine and 3 points, but now got a fab machine that picks up all the speed cameras, unmarked cars and gatso, and specs cameras. best thing i ever bought. So no more point for me!!!! if anyone interested i will try to find the site address.

    ....don't be silly there aren't any road traffic police anymore and the chances of getting pulled up these days is about the same odds of winning the lottery :)
