ImUrOBGYN Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Seems like it may work. Who'll be the first here to try? http://www.spikedhumor.com/articles/150348/Man-Tricks-Radar-Cameras.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 i will... thats a damn good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Creative as hell. Even I have had cops ask me "Why is your car registered under a Toyota?" because my license plate is "5 O" as in the letter "O". It is even hard to distinguish when the camera is on it between it all let alone on a radar camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supplicium Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Im sure there is a db that can be searched by vehicle make along w/partial plate information. Cool idea none the less. I just find it funny how everyone hates on the cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 In 10 years the cars will not be able to break the speed limit unless you are given the ok in an emergency situation. Onstar-like systems that control the cars computer will pwn us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onstar-like systems that control the cars computer will pwn us all. It wont happen bc the Local Govt will lose too much money from not having speeding tickets That is why i am keeping atleast one of my non pcu cars. It will be like demoliction man.

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 My buddy had M's & N's on his bike plate for the same purpose. I think it was something like MNMNM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be like demoliction man. That AND it would be a huge safety issue not to allow cars to have the extra torque and hp necessary to use in emergency situations such as passing, maneuvering, and bank robbing. But, I guess if we all had to do the speed limit it would be a big single file line anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanello Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Whenever I get the RX-7 up an running I planned on using WMNMVMN or XXKXKKXKX or something to that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I'm pretty sure that Ohio put stipulations in place on their personal plates that prevent this type of plate from being made. from oplates.com: PLEASE NOTE: All personalized or initial license plates are subject to approval. If you are applying for a personalized or initial license plate it may appear to be approved when ordering, however, each plate must be approved by a committee before it is issued. Ohio Revised Code section 4503.10(E) grants the Registrar of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles the authority to revoke license plates that were issued fraudulently or in error. ZERO (Ø) MUST ALWAYS BE LED OR FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER NUMBER 1-9. These Plates must contain no less than four letters and no more than seven letters or combination of four letters and numbers. No spaces are allowed for motorcycle plates containing five characters. Personalized plates up to six characters may be ordered for logo plates. Spacing Guidelines: Personalized plates are produced with uniformly sized spaces. 1, 2, or 3 characters/letters - NO spaces permitted 4 characters/letters - spaces permitted is up to (5) 5 characters/letters - spaces permitted is up to (4) 6 characters/letters - spaces permitted is up to (3) 7 characters/letters - spaces permitted is up to (2) although it still let me put this in: "MNNMWMW", I don't know if it'd actually get approved by the BMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Honestly I don't know why anyone things M and N and W are not distinguishable on a license plate. They look nothing alike. The only reason his is so effective is because 0 and O are very hard to tell apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 the general idea is just to make it difficult to pick out at a quick glance. Since Ohio went to non-stamped plates it makes them easier to read as well. Hell if you really want to do it, find some blue or black tape and just alter the letters on your plate into something else. Either way I don't think it'll actually work against a speed camera or an intelligent police officer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Honestly I don't know why anyone things M and N and W are not distinguishable on a license plate. They look nothing alike. The only reason his is so effective is because 0 and O are very hard to tell apart. And when photographed from a distance, it will be even harder to distinguish. Partial plate and model lookup won't work everytime. How many different combinations would you be willing to type in on top of having to guess what make, model, and year to send the ticket?

Ramsey Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 i have seen the blue evo WMMWWMW, it was pretty hard to read. At flyby speed, it would have been impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
