    Seems like it would be easier and cheaper to just not run red lights. Later, QD.

    true but ive been in situations where the light turned yellow, and there would no way to stop in time without smokin your tires, and if you continue going you would only make it just as the light turns red, most people dont intentionally run red lights, but its wht the situation called for

    I can agree with this. I try not to run red light also, but if theres another car behind me I wont risk him running into me. It happened before

    People should learn to NOT use the word "most" unless they have facts to back that up. I've always learned to slow down when approaching traffic lights just in case they do turn yellow. Problem solved for me. Later, QD.

    lol, unfortunately alot of people dont think like you QD, but you are right, slowing down assuming the light will turn yellow would help you stop in the event that it does, but for those of us who are driving regular speed, when it does turn yellow, stopping in time can be a serious pain. but i have a question fro you QD, havent you ever been in a situation where the light turned yellow, and you knew stopping would be a problem? and what did you do?

    INSIGHTFUL DIALOGUE ANALYSIS: Actually, Hector, that is not what we call valet parking. Valet parking is where someone parks your car for you. You just pulled your car up to the front of the store and got out. We just call that parking.

    In my car, I haven't been. In my truck, I have been caught up, I won't front. I had no choice but to get through it with horns blaring. I know it happens. IO wasn't trying to be an asshole. Later, QD.

    exactly, If people tried to obey the law as much as they tried to get around it, a lot of lives could be saved, and a lot less injuries on the roadways....

    i wonder, my sister has a protective screen for her iphone where you can only see the screen if you are directly in front of it. It you try to look at it from an angle, you cant even tell if it is on or not. If only you could find this type of screen big enough for your licence plate.

    learn to be more aware of your surroundings.

    Or just lift before every traffic light, in case the light turns yellow/red, or an asshole jumps out of the intersection in front of you.

    Someone else mentioned just pay attention. I guess If your trying to get away with it with protective film, you do it quit often...... and in case of an emengency where u do have to blare thru a redlight and you get a ticket in mail, dispute it i belive they record also and not just pictures. Problem SOLVED.

    they tested the spray as well as a few other methods and it didn't work. IIRC the only thing that did work was blowing by going ~300mph

    There is only ONE true thing that works, I forgot the name of it, I think it is the shark fin. I will try and find it for you. It allows your plate to be completely visible from the rear BUT when the car is turned or the camera is off the side, the fin acts as a mirror and shows the same digits on one side of the plate.

    This almost happened to me the other day. Light turned yellow, it seemed to be a photo enforced light so I hit the brakes then checked in my mirror the guy behind me almost runs right into me. So I go up a little and to the right he barely misses me then he runs the light. Im like these dang photo enforced lights cause accidents, not prevent them.

    That spray doesn't work and Im pretty sure the plastic covers dont do shit either. They tested both of them on a episode of mythbusters a while back with an actual traffic camera setup on that test strip they always use. they were both tested at different speeds if i am correct and they could always see the tag number no matter what.

    You could just simply stop at stop lights and avoid running them or doing anything else illegal. Seems easy to me, oh yeah, it's free!

    If you stopping for the light would endanger others, you could fight it. Most judges would throw it out if you were respectful.

    Only one i know that works is one they sell at meggamaxx ,and its basically a cover. but when you run a red light you hit a switch on the steering wheel and the film in front of the plate blacks out...now if you can be hauling ass and hit that switch props too you...and obviously..im pretty sure it's not all that legal
