i dont know for sure but if you can keep the system busy as this info suggests until the offence becomes "statute barred" then yes they cant prosecute, dont think i would risk it though as you say nice clean license is nice to have.

Just drive with plate blurrers

Passed my test this morning lol

Of course plate blurrers are illegal, so they would guarantee you a fine and points. Just drive according to the rules and you wont get points!

I was about to say....yeah, plate blurrers are a sure-fire way to get busted. IF they even WORK, something that I sort of doubt...haven't ever seen any evidence of that, at least.

MythBusters - a popular TV show in the US - did more than one program on them and have yet to be able to find a kind that work.

Which just brings me to this 5 Most popular safety laws that don't work(something many autobahn drivers may already be aware of).

It always kills me when I see people on the local news complaining that people are speeding through their neighborhood and insisting that the speed limit there needs to be lowered. If people are doing, say, 55 in a 45, what exactly makes them think that they won't just do 55 in a 35?

I find it hard to believe that the fine-book(?) is costlier than the combined fines.

You are quite right to be sceptical (and not just because of the source!) as even at first blush it sounds like a classic bit of urban mythology. I'd be willing to bet this was first heard in a pub somewhere stated with, probably drunken, confidence and prefaced with, "Apparently..." :rotfl:

Of course tickets are profitable, otherwise they wouldn't be using them as a revenue stream! Cost for printing and binding can be really very low on a per-unit basis and the value of fines is hardly insignificant. Even if the tickets cost as much as ten quid apiece (which is, ah, unlikely) even the smallest fixed-penalty fine makes them more than profitable.
