  EPISODE TITLE: Episode 73: Speed Cameras ORIGINAL AIR DATE: 3/07/2007 SYNOPSIS: Take two self-confessed speed freaks, Adam and Jamie, and pit them against the people's nemesis: speed cameras. The result: an action packed adventure full of fun, fascination and best of all, fast cars. Can speed cameras be beat by speeding faster than they can click? How about license plate protectors or changing lanes to avoid the camera's eagle eye? Adam and Jamie put the pedal to the metal down the runway of death to crack these myths. Meanwhile in Exploding Nitro Patches Kari, Grant and Tory explore the myth that when the paramedic shouts "clear' and the defibrillator vents it's volts it may start more than a heart. | |

As i explained on my "how to beat it page" you simple use and electrified piece of glass. You install a switch around the dashboard when flipped it sends current to the glass plate over the license plate. It will simply blur out the plate but only when switched on so that you can cruise around with it on and the police won't notice. If you go an extra step and install a regular plate bracket around the glass then it covers the edges of the glass making it virtually undetectable even at very close range. We put it to use in the last gum ball and it worked like a charm so well in fact that i'm patenting a system based on it right now. I'll post video as soon as possible!

You know those mobile speed vans? Well this one group of very clever people in Australia beat one. Three of them distracted the van driver, asking questions about how it worked, etc, while the fourth took the front license plate off of it. Then, they put that plate on their OWN car, and drove past the speed trap van 17 times. The automated system sent itself 17 tickets!
