If only the speed cameras used $5 cameras to take the pictures...LongBeachCoupe wrote:Guys mythbusters isnt the end all be all in everything.Feel free to apply a quality high gloss paint film and you can see for yourself with any $5 camera that a flash sends back a white image... and if you are talking about the plate covers that have a scramble in them, you cannot read the tag if you are elevated like that... do the pepsi challenge then blow thru all the ezpass lanes!
The whole over-exposure arguement only appears valid to logic based on superficial data. a) People don't realize that license plate frames are already super-reflective? I can pretty much guarantee you that anything you can spray on a plate and still have the letters readable will be LESS reflective than the plate background.
* caveat: I haven't examined the new "plastic" vanity plates so I don't know about those.
b) From the distance these photos are taken at, the area of reflectivity for the plate is such a small % of the overall exposure area that, unless a small thermonuclear device proveded the light source it would still probably not be overexposed no matter what you put on it.
