Probably, many motorists remember how a few years ago a very fashionable way to obscure the license plate of your car was “dirty”. In this case, this word is put in quotes because almost every online car store sold “artificial dirt” – in aerosol cans. According to the instructions, this automotive chemical should be randomly sprayed on the license plate of a car, simulating the pollution, thereby complicating the work of traffic police cameras. This is exactly how automotive chemical manufacturers responded to the request of reckless drivers trying to escape retaliation in the form of “automatic” fines.
Over time, the Russian traffic police learned to identify impostors using “artificial mud”. At least for the obvious discrepancy between the vehicle’s sparkling clean paint and the clods of “dirt” that stuck exclusively around the license plate: somehow this doesn’t fit, does it? Realizing that “for dirt” one can also be deprived of “rights”, people have stopped en masse. But the idea of escaping responsibility for traffic violations, without risking parting with military equipment, still does not leave many fellow citizens.
There are now more “harmless” ways to avoid auto-commit. For example, driving with a slightly dented license plate. It looks like the driver lightly hit them on some obstacle somewhere, bowed at the same time, straightened it as best he could and drove off. And the fact that now no camera will read the license plate – it happened quite by accident …
The fact is that the Code of Administrative Offenses deprives “rights” for driving a car with modified GRP. Well, try punishing a curb that “modified” the car’s license plate! After all, his driver can always tell the traffic cop who stopped him that the fateful piece of tin on the bumper has just bent and the car is already literally running to the workshop to make a new number.
The next way to complicate the work of the traffic police cameras, the effectiveness of which quite a few motorists believe, is to install the GRP not parallel to the horizon, but with some inclination to the right or left. Like, the sign accidentally skewed … The fact is that a number of models of police cameras installed on the roads of the country until 2018 really do not read such “bends” of license plates. They are gradually being replaced by new complexes, but the complete dismantling of old cameras throughout Russia is still a long way off …
Another, seemingly unpunished (albeit extremely questionable in terms of effectiveness) camera fighters’ way is to fix “flaking paint” on the polyester. To do this, the white background of the board, covered with a special reflective enamel, is “tinted” with ordinary white paint. The eye of a traffic police officer does not notice the difference, and some fellow citizens claim that such a repaint makes the polyester for automatic fixation cameras “darker” at night.
