Default “Anti Glare” Sunvisor Extenders

Been chewing on this.

Per the commonly sold polarised “clear” flaps you can buy to clip at the bottom of your visor and extend about 5” down, are they likely to thwart the cameras used to photograph drivers holding a phone?

Mythbusters ahoy!
If it does thwart the cameras, will the good ol pollies ban their use, dooming motorists to the dangers of sun glare?

Two of these dummy hands placed on the top of the steering wheel would be better.

You're obviously spending enough time on the phone to justify the install of a bluetooth hands free kit

I've got them (Parrot kits) in three of the most used cars. They're basic but dependable.

Had seen someone the other day driving a new Rangie, with one of these polarised screens and holding their iPhail, it just made me wonder if they thought it would obfuscate sufficiently.
