Stealth plates?BenzBoy

Do they actually work, or is it a gimmick? I dare say nobody would want to try speeding past a camera just to test them out - bit of a pricey experiment! I haven't ever seen a set of stealth number plates so I don't even know how they differ in appearance to regular ones.

here's my thoughts... speed cameras work on CCD's which are very sensetive to infra-red. most things bounce light back evenly, so look the same in infra-red as in normal light. if you could either bounce back more, or no infra-red you could in theory mask your plate - imagine a random array of infra-red sensetive spots over the top, to a camera it would be gibberish. either that or shine IR at the camera, make your numberplates incorporate IR emitting diodes or summat, your plate would be too bright to read. this wouldn't apply to traditional 'film' cameras though, just digital ones. but the 'stealth' plates you can buy... they're b'llocks

I have "stealth" plates. As you know, I recently got knobbled by the Met. & one of their "stealth" Gatso's. So no. They do not work.

I know of a place advertising camera free plates, but as you say they don't work. I know we'd all love to use a bit of devious b*stardry to get back at the law and the DVLA, but it's not going to work, since they're more devious and b*stardish than any of us!

gat some plates made up that say 'THE DVLA IS BENT' and then razz up and down past a speed camera all day wasting the film in it. That will teach them.

A friend of mine used to sell proper stealth plates with an LCD screen over them. You flicked a switch and the plate went black. Needless to say he was leaned on by the law.

replace the number plate light bulbs with 1000W halogen bulbs, thus over exposing the image, downside also blinds other drivers, teeny bit obvious to Mr Plod as he comes up behind you!
or James Bond stylee rotating plates!
