Spray becomes latest trick to avoid traffic fines in Uruguay
traffic fines in Uruguay
Montevideo - Arab Today
A transparent aerosol varnish is the latest trick used by drivers to escape fines for traffic infractions, the Uruguayan News Agency (UyPress) said on Saturday.
The spray works by giving license plates a high-gloss finish so shiny that when traffic cameras snap a picture, the plate appears blank: no numbers, no ticket.
"A spray sold on the Internet claims it can make your license plate invisible to the (traffic) cameras," UyPress said, adding each can sells for 75 U.S. dollars.
Ever since traffic cameras were installed at intersections to automatically capture traffic violations, "there have been attempts to beat the technology and avoid the fines," UyPress recalled, noting one method called for "placing a CD in the windshield wipers."
Several U.S. online videos promote the use of the spray, not to get around the law, but to avoid being overly ticketed by the private companies that operate the traffic cameras and reportedly get a percentage for each fine.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
