Mate they are legal to own but illegal to operate.
Cops in some states can now detect radar warning devices if they are turned on.
If they find it in your car you are up for a hefty fine, loss of points and goodbye to your radar device.
Good luck.
Whiteknight you can use radar detectors in WA without getting a fine.
Normaly the unit it placed on the lower part of the windscreen in the middle to work 100% unless you buy a stealth kit that has sensors that go on the front bumper.
You have it to high so just place it lower down.
Haha I would to, but just about every time I move somewhere, they change it on me. haha.
Example: Have always loved Sizzler. Was so happy to move to the ACT and be so close to a remaining Sizzler restaurant. Then after about 1-1.5 years, they closed it down. So yet another sizzler gone. Damn! I always go there when I go to QLD now heh. You lucky QLD'ers.
And the 50kmh zones! They covered Newcastle in them, and i moved to the ACT loving the decent speed limits and wide open roads etc. Then now there's talk of putting heaps of them all over the ACT. I hope that fades away! There are some already, bit its not saturated like Newcastle.
because i have a friend guess what he bought IR l.E.D like the one in the remote control of TVs and place 6 of them around his car which isnt a micra as radar sensors and its working perfect
