I have noticed a few zeds and other cars with significantly raised lettering on number plates. Are these strictly legal and are they intended to confuse speed and other cameras, as I have been reading in the press of problems with drivers avoiding detection with altered plates
Many years ago I purchased a can of spray for an old Porsche which was supposed to do exactly that, but when it arrived it was simply a new label stuck over a can of hair spray.

I cannot get my head around why someone would take off a perfectly good number plate to replace it with these horrors.
