Most drivers who don’t want to be caught on the radar and pay a large amount of fines resort to many ridiculous methods, all of which are urban legends, from hanging a CD in their rear view mirror to painting a license plate with hairspray. But do these methods used by thousands of people really work?
People who try to fool the radar rather than simply follow the rules, for this just urban legends He resorts to various absurd methods. In fact, seeing the radar and making a selector for the vehicle coming from the opposite road is one of the most innocent methods among them.
The ones that wrap the car in aluminum foil like a baked chicken 2ndIt is useless for amounts such as 00 TL. Let’s see together what are the absurd methods used by people who think they are deceiving the radar and can’t get rid of the penalty, from the drivers who buy “ghost spray” to the drivers, why it doesn’t work.
Putting a CD in the rearview mirror is just an accessory
Hanging a CD in the rear view mirror of the car is one of the most frequently used methods to evade the radar, not only in Turkey but also in many countries. The reason for hanging a CD on the mirror, That the back of the CD reflects radar flashes back. think.
Let’s just say that such a thing doesn’t work at all, because the radar sensors are too powerful to be kicked back by the CD. So CDs, by no means radar cameras to take pictures of your vehicle does not prevent. If you exceed the speed limit and try to use such a method, all you will have is a photo of you with a CD hanging from the rear view mirror.
Pressing the brake when you see the radar doesn’t help either.
Let’s say you are on a long road, you are breaking the rules by exceeding the speed limit. Just as I was about to enjoy the song playing on the radio, suddenly when you see the radar tool glowing like a disco ball on the right you press the brakes, here it does nothing but create a danger for the vehicles behind on the highway.
The reason is also very simple. Before you see the radar vehicle, the radar vehicle has already seen you and recorded your speed limit. Radars measure the speed of vehicles on intercity roads. 500 meters away can detect. Instead of pressing the brakes after seeing the vehicle, all you have to do is move towards the police vehicle waiting for you and accept your punishment.
Don’t waste hairspray, you’ll need it on vacation
Painting a license plate with hairspray is one of the urban legends to get off the radar. In fact, some people not only fall for these urban legends, but also on top of it. “plate concealer spray” or “ghost spray” pouring money into products under their name. into the spray After paying a fee of 200 TL not to mention paying the radar fine.
Unless you paint your license plate a dark color, it is not possible in any way to prevent it from being read or confuse the radar sensors. So wherever the journey is, use hair spray only for its intended purpose. it’s good to use.
You don’t need to wrap your car with aluminum foil like a solar panel.
One of the methods used to disrupt radar sensors is to stick aluminum foil on the hood. As you can imagine, the purpose of this is just like hanging a CD in the rearview mirrori blocking the radar sensors. I don’t think we need to say that aluminum foil has no effect on radar sensors either.
Turkey’s only female radar police Fatma Yılmaz uses the following statements about the operation of radar sensors; “The CDs they put in, the aluminum foil, the hairspray have no effect. Because the device we call D3 in the working system of the radar sends signals gradually. These signals measure the speed of vehicles speeding on the road with numerical data from the collision with the air. So what they do does not affect this data in any way.”
