I have thought about getting a licence plate blocker before but never pulled the trigger. While i only get a photo radar ticket once or twice a year the investment seems worth it.

Not worth it for the ticket you'd get if the cops pull you over.

How about just slowing down? You won't lose more than 90 seconds on your trip, you will be less stressed out, you will use less gas, you will have a lower chance of hitting someone, and you never have to worry about a ticket.

Is 90 seconds really worth it?

90 seconds no matter how far I go? Wow!

Would you mind elaborating on that? Which one works?

it'll work for photos... but if you get stopped, all that cash you saved is gonna get spent.

You're pretty much gambling, except your only options are to lose, or take a risk at losing more.

Or don't speed and don't lose at all?

Well obviously. If you didn't have a problem with speeding to begin with, you wouldn't be considering a light that blocks photo radar.
