Means and ways to impair the readability of license plates

In addition to the lack of lighting, a number of other methods are known, which may worsen or even eliminate the legibility of the state mark. These include:

• reflective paints and varnishes - some of them may interfere with the normal reading of data from the plate by CCTV camera;
• state signs are drawn up - when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 50 km / year, the plate simply collapses from the oncoming air flow. Such a violation entails administrative liability and a fine;
• magnetic frame - it is controlled from the car. When you press the button, the license plate closes with a curtain and cannot be read. It is easy for a traffic police officer to prove the fact of intentional concealment of numbers and bring the driver to justice;
• infrared lighting - is considered, that at night video surveillance cameras cannot read data in the light of infrared rays, however, modern equipment still provides such an opportunity;
• mesh and transparent pads - all this can also impair the visual perception of the state mark, therefore, the use of such funds is the reason for stopping the traffic police;
• additional stickers and badges - it is forbidden to put any foreign information on the plate with the license plate, there should be only that, as provided in the rules. The presence of extraneous symbols and pictures is a reason to bring to administrative responsibility;
• dirty license plates are one of the most common ways to make them readable. The rules provide a warning to the driver and a fine, if it is possible to prove the existence of intent.
