Has anyone used the "Photo Blocker" number plate spray stuff? Or know of anyone who has?

Doesn't seem worth it to me. Probably just someone making money out of selling water in a squeezy bottle!
Besides, it only works for cameras with flash - no good against those vans and some other cameras. Correct speed past cameras still has to be the best way.

Why not buy some and then put it to the test?
Volunteers please!!

Probably as good as fuel cats, magnetic charms, rabbits' feet and other snake oil that you can fool some of the people all of time.
Hey - I might make some on fleabay!

You may as well just remove your plates since not displaying a reg no will most likely only get you a £30 fixed penalty and NO POINTS!
And it's as legal as the spray (i.e. not).

The spray doesn't work. All the police have to do is adjust the contrast on the picture and the number magically appears.

also if the number plate is trouble some to read even with the contrast change etc they just invert (invert the colours) the picture and the details appear more easily to read.

Even if you put it on would you trust blazing on past to test it? thought not! you'd still be as careful as before!

what about installing one of those james bond style rotating number plates, where you have a different plate on each bit? would that work?
