Red Herring wrote:If TripleS is really that concerned about being zapped for speeding on an average speed camera he can consider putting the front number plate on his dash. That's the most common dodge, especially in the South East where drivers want to defeat the congestion charging cameras. It's sufficiently hidden to beat the cameras but near enough to being displayed that the average copper will fall for the "sorry it fell off this morning" excuse. Of course, you will get pulled up loads of times, and if you want to remain credible it might be an idea if the plate isn't buried under last weeks newspaper or nice and clean given all the salt on the road at the moment....
