Unjust Tickets - USA - Trucks Can Cause Speeding Ticket Errors
Add this to the many other problems with inaccurate speed cameras -- vibrations from heavy trucks. Passing trucks are causing false readings that send unjust tickets to innocent motorists

The demand for cans of PhotoBlocker ( tm ) spray grows steadily every month, with sales of over 350,000 cans protecting over 1 million vehicles in 23 countries...
