3M Scotchlite reflective sheeting?

Fanum · Mar 9, 2004

I've looked at a lot of websites recently looking for a database of speed cameras that could be used as a POI or WP database for my SPIII, and in the searching i got side-tracked onto some of the 'dodgy numberplate' type sites, as well as some of the fairly respectable sites that eview their performance....

To sum up all the things I've seen, there doesn't appear to be any workable and non-nickable number plate reflective film scam that either works or isn't obvious.....at best they're scams and don't work but will cost you a tank of petrol, and at worst they leave you open to all sorts of C&U offence fines or even worse, conspiracy to pervy the course of justice offences....

Mind you, having seen the percentage of us who have zero points on that recent poll, and still who presumably enjoy what we're doing, I think we all know how to play 'the game' and how to avoid getting into trouble or being dangerous.......

Ok, I've talked to my man today, and basically, any colour reflective stuff is going to work out the same price per A4 sheet. There is some cheap and nasty stuff doing the rounds at the moment, that isn't worth sticking on anything, so be careful when you're buying. This is all 3M super dooper stuff he's got, and the rep is calling tomorrow, so he's going to get "a very competitive price" for us (read beer tokens :beerjug:

) I'll see him on Friday, so I'll get a final list of colours and price for an A4 sheet then. Was £12.99 a sheet the price someone was selling it for, if so, they're about to get it stuffed up 'em good and proper

As a 'tame plod' I would have to say that I think Adrian is right in that this may fall foul of the 'White Light to the rear' rule, but it would be worth an argument in court as you would be reflecting, not generating the light.

I will post this thread to a friend who is a rat skipper and ask for a ruling, however I can say that 99% of my colleagues would not give you a ticket for this, unless of course you pizzed them off.

In any case you would be entitled to take part in the Vehicle Defect Rectification Scheme (VDRS), which means 'Get it fixed and verified at an MoT centre'.

Just a further thought, my black jacket has white scotchlite reflective seams, is that illegal too ?

A mate has just given me a sample for my panniers looks good and reflects in the night and light until closer and then looks black costs £10.00 for36" x24".

Bloody hell! £10 for six square feet of the stuff?! Anyone want to go halfs? I don't need that much.

Vern · Mar 25, 2004

Sorry for the delay, but I'm up to my eyes in it at the moment.

The black reflective sheet costs £7.50 for an A4 sheet plus a couple of bob for p+p. so about 8 quidish. This is the mutts nutts 3M stuff, and trust me, that's pretty feckin cheap.

If you want the cheap stuff, it works out at about £5ish, and I'm told it won't last long on the back of a bike, so it's a bit of a false economy really.

I'm getting some stickers done for next week, so I'll see him then if anyone still wants some.

Tobers · Mar 25, 2004

Yep - still up for it - couple of sheets for me. How to pay?

Fanum · Mar 26, 2004

Vern....I'll have a couple of sheets of whatever's closest in colour to the silver pannier finish please mate....I can transfer money online to you , whack a chq over or settle up in folding stuff when I come to collect...whatever's best for you!

Cheers!!!!!!

Ok, I'll have to wait until Friday, because he's moving premises this week, and all is not going to plan at the moment.
I'll also see if I can chip him a bit on price as well (fat chance)
