Red light cameras are one of the most unfair traffic procedures in the world. You know they're rigged - the yellow lights are shorter, the cameras are sharper and it's impossible to predict when exactly the light will turn red. You feel like stopping on a green light just so you don't run the risk of getting a red light ticket!
It's very difficult to dispute a red light ticket. Red light cameras mean big revenue to cities up to their necks in debt. Do you think a judge is going to let you off when he knows your several hundred dollar red light ticket contribution will boost the city's economy? Not a chance, unless you've got a good lawyer, which will also cost you several hundred dollars.
Getting a ticket of any kind is expensive and can negatively affect your auto insurance premiums for up to three years. A red light ticket can be especially unforgiving, since it's sent to you in the mail several days after you committed the offense, leaving you puzzled as to what exactly the circumstances were surrounding the offense.
Can you afford to get a red light ticket? Even if you can afford to pay for the ticket and resulting high insurance premiums, why would you want to? There's no reason you should hand over a couple hundred dollars to whatever city had the red light camera when it will be doing you more justice in your bank account or on your credit card.
There's a solution to that problem - just don't go anywhere. Not much of a solution, is it? You could take public transportation and risk getting H1N1, but at least you'd never get a red light ticket.
You could simply keep your license plate covered with mud all the time, but you could get pulled over for this offense if a cop catches you. You'd never get a red light ticket, but you'd sure get a different kind of citation.
Or, you could take the easy route and apply Photo Blocker Spray to your license plates. I know what you're thinking - isn't Photo Blocker Spray illegal?
No.
Photo Blocker Spray is 100% legal and effective in deflecting the red light cameras at stop lights from reading your license plate.
This is how it works: You spray on one layer of Photo Blocker Spray on each license plate (but more importantly on the front), let it dry, and you're on your way. If you run a red light by accident (or if it snaps your picture anyway when you were perfectly in the clear), your license plate will turn out severely overexposed in the photo, leaving a huge white blank where most the letters on your license plate would ordinarily be clearly visible.
Is Photo Blocker Spray cost effective? Let's break down the cost:
Cost of Red Light Camera Ticket: $370.00+
Cost of Attorney to Dispute Ticket: $400.00+
Cost of Missing Work to Attend Court Date: $80+
Cost of Photo Blocker Spray: $29.99 for two vehicles
So, is Photo Blocker Spray effective? You do the math.
Photo Blocker Spray is 100% translucent, so no one else is going to know you've applied it to your vehicles. And since it's so cheap, there's no way you can justify NOT putting it on your license plates, especially if you travel a lot in urban areas, tend to be negligent of yellow lights or would simply like to keep your good standing with your insurance company.
