    NEWSFLASH: Swedish invention against speeding tickets

    They market it as a device that makes it easier to clean your license plates by flipping the plates to horizontal position, but you have to be pretty dense not to imagine how difficult it would be for the police to identify a speeding car, the norwegian newspaper Aftenposten reports.

    Three young men from Stockholm are behind the invention.
    And they are now trying to get it approved as a device to help cleaning your plates for snow and grime.

    "We have had quite some interest from Norway, too. I have heard the Norwegians are close to pedantic when it comes to keeping their license plates clean", says Frederik Gunnarsson from the company Plankatullen.nu

    They are still trying to find out if this device is legal in Norway, or if the plate-flipping will render a moving car illegal.

    I luv it!
    ...but then again, I have SUCH dirty plates!

    Awesome find!

    Although I would tilt the whole rig a few degrees downward as you can still read the plate from car-level.

    They use the same thing here, I have seen it in motorbikes, when you want to go full out on the streets, you flip the thing and forget about the photoradar. There is one that can be activated with a button, and another with a cord but you get caught with that mechanism installed and you are in big trouble

    I read our law and it seems that it would be legal. Plate covers are illegal, so are sprays, but it only says that the plate should be visible and legible. It is legible if you are kneeling behind the rear bumper .

    On Fifth Gear last night, I saw a report that the UK Government is thinking of making tamper proof screws compulsory in the UK for attaching registration plates to vehicles. What a bummer!

    Europe is more and more becoming a police state. Our freedoms are reduced each day, while smokers and alcoholics seem to be protected and criminals get away with lighter sentences than some speeders. And we pay crazy taxes on top of it all.

    Reminds me of James Bond's DB5 in Goldfinger......

    Re: NEWSFLASH: Swedish invention against speeding tickets

    If there was a decent invention that would flip the license plates I would purchase it (200-300 bucks).. though it would be highly illegal.. I would buy it and use it. I would never pay tolls.. just have HAHAHAHA on my license plate.

    You beat me to it!

    Re: NEWSFLASH: Swedish invention against speeding tickets

    Thank you Dr. Phil!

    The world has been waiting for a device that makes "cleaning" license plates easier!


    Re: NEWSFLASH: Swedish invention against speeding tickets

    Weren't American cars doing this 30-40 years ago? Not for cleaning purposes but to conceal the fuel filler. Not exactly a new idea, but perhaps a newer application. Hardly ground breaking.
