Invisible numberplates
Discussion
I saw a chap yesterday on the M25 sporting a rear numberplate which appeared invisible as I approached (I was overtaking, it was in lane 2), but as I got closer and I guess my headlight angle changed sufficiently it appeared normal (other than the font).
Any ideas?
Always conscious of some imbecile with a camera taking the roof from over my family's head for no good reason, I'd like one of those myself.

about 6am around J20ish, anticlockwise... Yes I fully subscribe to the "use your nonce" method, and with the rear plate cameras so obvious there doesn't really seem to be much excuse for getting done by them*
Just an interesting piece of gear. I don't think it was the ribbed double-image type thing though, but it wasn't that easy to check it out properly and concentrate on the road ahead.

*Unless you're done whilst merging in the chaos during the A14/A11 merge eastbound where the imbeciles have decided to create the added excitement of panic braking by putting a speed camera in the middle of it! Blimey as if you don't have enough to think about merging safely without having to check if your speed happens to be above some random number!

I spoke to some high up in Cambridgeshire police about this when it was being implemented. He reckoned there was a bit of an outcry. Sadly I was on the John when he called me back, and it's really hard to frame an argument with your trousers around your ankles.
His main defence seemed to be that the camera had been approved by the home secretary. Oh so that's alright then.
There are some accident remains in that area. Anyone been killed by it yet?
I tend to go through that way out of hours when the Wrath of the Camera is less powerful, must be a zoo in rush hour.
