No front plate, they're not needed here. I heard of that episode of Myth Busters. Was just wondering if anyone knew of a license plate cover that actually does work. I'm not in the habit of runnnig reds, or really doing anything stupid in traffic, but blasting a yellow was definitely safer than being anywhere near the import panzies that were swerving around me. I've also seen pictures of speed cameras hidden in plastic garbage cans. Not cool. Anyone?

I've seen one that really works, but I believe it was a manually controlled and sent an electric current to the cover that made it turn opaque so the tag couldn't be seen.. I don't remember what the brand was, but it was marketed to serious cross country road racers...(cannon ball run type) I think it probably cost more than a ticket too.

Best (and cheapest) solution....Stop at the red lights!

I saw a tv program on covers and sprays and the only one they found what worked was one that was like one of the rainbow shaded things that distorts the image, which is actually illegal any way, cause it is technically block the full view of the plate from every angle. Just don't run reds
