FFS. Then obviously the systems are shite. Don't use them.

When I was in the USA 35 years ago, cops speed control devices couldn't pick up on yellow cars

Seriously? How difficult would it be to program recognition of that color/reflectivity into the system?

(A guess, based on solving similar maths problems.) Hard. The system is probably designed to filter out the car's own headlights, otherwise it completely dazzles itself with mirrors like cat's eye reflectors. And the super-reflective jackets are made of tiny mirror beads. White line paint is too.
