oh hello officer, no i have no idea why theres an LCD screen over my number plate

oh so thats what that button does, it obscures my number plate, oh no i've never seen it before

The old plate flipper that activate at 80km/h+ is a nifty trick, but not as nifty as not speeding around speed cameras....

i do believe knight rider had revolving plates

i do believe knight rider had revolving plates

so did the BMW in The Transporter

actually it was a typo, i meant to type crt

also lol, emo

this is how you beat a speed camera

TAKE A WHITE FRIEND!

STOP IMMEDIATELY

TURN THAT SHIT OFF

SHUT THE FUCK UP

I'm pretty sure you'll find that its illegal to have any sort of protector or 'clear' covering of any kind on a number plate, in Qld at least.

neg i see cars all the time with plastic covers in them and ontop it has a plug for ZUPPS or wherever they bought the car from

Yeah thats what I thought.

i think casa had a numberplate cover that reflected all light on a certain angle, completely unintentional. that sort of thing is a warning + getting rid of it.

not my idea, but interesting thought:

you can play reverse lotto. Drive around with no front license plate. $50 fine for no plate, but one speed camera at 40kph over limit = $350 and half your demerit points....

and surprisingly, cops don't pull you over as fast as you'd think when front plate is missing.

That 40km/h over is wrong.

It's 6 months, 6 points and $700.

Just under 2 months left. Replacing the Civic too, something small still but a little more buzz. Looking at Swift GTi's 100hp little beasts ^_^

Ponders idea of transplanting a VTEC engine.

Maybe if I can find a crashed car and get it at a decent price I can up the civic instead.

Just need something tidy, runs nicely and a little fun.

*sighs* should look at LPG Falcoons and Commonwhores.

was reading fast 4 magazine and there is spray you can order which you spray on ya numberplate and it makes it reflective!!! just do that!

my question, when do we get to go out to lakeside for some "testing"

i believe you promised :)

LOL.. i can't remember saying that would let you guys into lakeside for a bit of testing.

i prolly could flogg off the gate key, but i would have my arse handed back to me in a sling if we got caught. Big risk, there is a house near by and the owner keeps an eye on it for the pine river council who owns it.


as for detectors for the RDD's, the RDD would detect that as well, they are very well made and getting upgraded all the time, they are designed and build here in brissie.

So you're saying, if you're going to speed do 225km/h.

Be sure to do that on the M1 next time *rolls eyes*

I'll stick to no more then 10km/h over (it's still speeding I know), but only under certain conditions. And no more crazy speeds.

Track for me! Well... maybe the odd squirt. But I'll be good...

I don't want to loose my license for 6 months ever again. EVER EVER AGAIN.
However, not having to pay for fuel rocks!

heh..

RD's work by detecting the frequency of the radar signal.

these frequencies are in the X-Band, K-Band and Ka-Band.

there are a lot of frequencies being used by CB-radio, T.V. stations, Radio stations, mobile phones, etc.. etc.. the RD's need to be sensitive to only the frequencies in use by the speed radars, to do this the RD's have IC controlled crystal oscillators inside it to perform frequency modulation in the X, K and Ka Bands.

the RD's then match up the frequencies it produces with any radars near by, alerting the owner that a matching freq (of a radar) is detected.

that is also the RD's downfall as the RDD's detect the frequency modulation of the RD's and alerts the police.(the RDD's are really sensitive)

also the RDD's have a power meter of sorts converted into sound, so when it gets louder, the signal is closer and the police can track down which car it is.

so, why doesn't the RDD go off when a police radar is in operation?

good question, i am glad you blokes asked..

the maker of the RDD's works close with the police and he knows the exact freq. of the police radars.

he programs the RDD's to not detect the exact freq.'s of the radars.

while the RD's modulates through a range of freqs in the radar bands and gets caught out.


its not worth getting an RD guys, it will cost you a lot of money buying one and even more money when you get caught with it.

any other questions?

it's pretty much the same technology they used in some missiles they use on fighter jets, they lock onto the air crafts radar output, hence for stealth planes to work they have to actually turn their radar off when they are in hostile area's, but they have all sorts of stratergies for it and shit

they also have anti radar bombs, which are designed for taking down a enemy's ground radar

i have a question, IS there anyway to beat them? :p

How much are those radar guns worth?

can you get me one? i only got $30 bux
