What if this thing is recording video like continuous pictures and the flash is to recognize the face of the driver??!

If it does not come with wire, I do it myself.

Yes, I know the new wire will be wear out 3 years later also. but by then, i hope I will change to F10 or X6.
Some use the black sticky rubber to stick it in.
I have seen 2 car that are broken.

Last year, I was caught by hand held laser gun when going uphill in Kwai Chung, they shot me in the front....! I was doing a 92km uphill, 5 points gone

Last month, I was caught in Eastern Corridor (fixed camera) which I was driving at 80km, my radar detector voice out well before I reached the camera, when the detector beeping, I think I am doing 80km, should not be captured. Finally, $320 gone, no need deduct points.

Then I should put my cap on all the time, or wearing a doctor mask.

Very difficult, just a little press on accelerator will reach 80 - 90km. Looks like I should change back to 1500cc Japan car.....
