Just A Heads Up

[fatz]

fine for a radar detector is 12 points and over 2k

[Kinks]

Most people actually worry more about the $$$ then anything.

If you're 30KM/h over the limit, you deserve to walk for 3 months. 45KM/H over, you deserve to walk for 6 months. MINIMUM! People just don't understand, you might be on a freeway in a 110KM/H zone, sitting on 150KM/H thinking you're safe and dandy, but shit gets freaking scary at those speeds when it all goes wrong.

At to that if you're doing 90KM/h in a 50 Zone... That's a hell of a lot of damage! Considering pedestrians have an extremely low chance of surviving an impact when a car is over 60KM/H... Yet alone 90!

Further to this, learners and P platers can only do 90 and 100km/h on a freeway. The speed differential from 140/150 clicks to 90/100 is substantial, throw in a driver who is very inexperienced (and one numbskull who is speeding) and you have a recipe for a hospital trip, or morgue trip for that matter. Seen plenty of ugly things happen at much slower speeds than that, it's not worth it on the road. Want to go fast? Do a track day.

Radar detectors.. another brain dead idea. Cop uses a LIDAR gun (laser) you are screwed anyway, and you deserve it.

Its no points just a fine.......

$1040 fine for HAVING a RADAR/LIDAR detector/Jammer.

Another $1050 fine for refusing to hand it over.

Also, NSW police REGULARLY update the jammer/detector detectors...

You can buy undetectable radar's now they stipulate this when you read up on them.

Remember NSW is broke and do not have money to keep updating you will always get

updated technology faster than nsw police...

lol you do that, and when they point the gun at your car and notice you brake, then they point the gun away and you speed up, then they do that cycle again because sometimes the detectors just go off and then you'll have the car searched. The gov may be (semi broke) but they spend on things that make them money. They'll then walk up to the car with the gun and activate the gun in your car and they will look for lights and listen for the sound of the detector. Besides in NSW they don't need to give you the 3 second speed confirmation test anymore, they can get the reading from less than half a second now which renders the detector useless....

Actually on 2nd thought keep using your detector, get done for speeding and the detector at the same time and what other goodies you may have in the car

they are called radar detectors but most of them work for lazer aswell, it's just the name of them, we know cops usually do speed with lazer guns but most of us still call it radar

I know of someone who occasionally uses a detector X, K, Ka, Ku, Laser and Strobe and hasn't been pick by police going in both direction with it running.

I think if you are doing dangerious speeds, by the time the detector would detect a radar and you need to slow down it would be more than obvious to the police that you would be in the wrong and should be busted anyway.

Kujotk - As far as the 3 second rule, I can't be sure. I do know the police still state the 3 seconds in a court of law, i.e. that the gun was locked on for 3 seconds. So it must mean something. A minimum of 2 seconds to prove speed, it usually tells the speed travelled in those 2 seconds too, slowing or speeding up.
