If a 11-99 license plate frame were an effective protection against speeding tickets, the obvious question would be "why not counterfeit one?"
The cost of making even one frame would be far less than $2,500. Even better, why not make a batch of them and sell them illicitly?
The economics don't seem to add up.

- jaysonelliot 13y agoYes, that's why I said the economics didn't make sense.
- ryguytilidie 13y agoIt's a charity organization. It's not about the economics making sense. It's intended to be a gift for donating money, not a +EV speeding ticket helper.
- john_b 13y agoIf you are rich enough to drive a 9-11 around you are probably less price sensitive than the people buying the counterfit ones. For these people, the points on their license and the hassle caused by the ticket would probably be the main concern. Under those assumptions, the risk of being caught using a counterfit one would be hard to justify.
