Smiley 1 Man Uses Permanent Marker to Fool Photo Radar

Quote:

They make a filter for your tag that works too. It looks like a simple ordinary clear plastic cover....looking straight at it.

But at even a slight angle....zippo.

i think it's hilarious the guy got away with it even once....Kudos to him.

One of the construction companies I worked for painted vehicle numbers on the doors.
Pick-ups and 1 tons had numbers such as 2345 and gang trucks had numbers like 3456.
One of the foreman I worked for was this kid who was brought up through the ranks rather quickly (he had so much smoke blown up his ###) and was known for going through drivers like people change their drawers. I took a magic marker to his gang truck and changed the first digit to the match (the numbers were the same except for the first digit) number as his pick-up. His driver at the time was getting royally screwed by him working late, no overtime ect.. and he was in a big hurry one day and cut-off a 4 wheeler who called the company and reported the number. That kid was called on the carpet and chewed out by the owner of the company. It took them a few days to realize that "someone" had changed the number on the gang truck. After that the company started using decals and only posting the "How's my driving" bumper sticker on the gang trucks and the dumps. Because after all, drivers are the only company employees who make mistakes.
