What is License Plate Shield and what are Its Benefits?

Red light cameras, photo radars, video cameras and traffic cameras are programmed to catch offending motorists and photograph the number plates after which offenders have to pay a fine. This happens even if the motorist is not strictly to blame with the result that such systems have aroused the ire of people everywhere in the country.

For motorists the best way is to drive extremely carefully but even then there are times when they become victims of these cameras. A better alternative is for them to have license plate shields that provide a degree of protection from the cameras. These shields are made of transparent but textured plastic, mainly acrylic and have a construction that shows the characters clearly when viewed at eye level or from straight ahead. Most traffic and red light cameras are installed by the side of the road or high above and at an angle and when the car passes a sensor the camera is activated if the lights are yellow or red. Usually the cameras photograph the license plate from angle of about 100 to 120 degrees. The shields may be designed with micro grooves in specific patterns so that cameras cannot capture a clear image of the characters on the license plate. In this way a motorist is protected and shielded from unnecessary fines. The finest such tags are from phantom tag protector, made of special textured acrylic. The image is obscured when captured from an angle but the characters are legible when viewed from straight ahead.

There are cheaper versions of such shields available in the market but since these are without UV protection the plastic yellows and becomes opaque. It can also develop cracks and shatter quite easily. Phantom tag protector shields are made of finest UV stabilized acrylic to last for a longer time.
