Not that I'm advocating speeding of course. Place a flashgun (not a Leica) on the back parcel shelf and aim it in the direction of any likely camera you may encounter. With a slave unit wired up this should in theory activate the flash when the speed cameras flash goes off and blast back at the speed camera. With sufficient power, diffusion and flare it should ruin the capability of the speed camera being able to read your number plate. Just a thought.
