These plates are a waste of time and money, all they do is take the negative and put it through a computer (digitise it and hey presto

People have tried everything from spraying hairspray on their numberplates to those "special" reflective ones (which dont work).
Put it this way, if they did work then they would be banned from selling them, now why are they not banned?

Last year at the Scottish motorcycle show there was a stand demonstrating "BACKFLASH" anti camera numberplates. A guy was using a digital camera and showing the audience a totally white reflection.

My mate took a photo of the camera shy ones at the motor show and sure enough it came out white. When downloaded to the pc though a simple brightness tweak made the number plate legible....
