Whilst WA still allows a radar detector (under the radio frequency law) to be used in that state,

I'd like to ask 6 Qs

Q1 Does this mean that the owner of the WA registered car has to remove the unit upon crossing the border?

Q2 How does a Police Radar-Detector-Detector work?

Q3 How accurate is a Radar-Detector-Detector in multi-lane traffic (if the Radar-Detector picks up a Radar and is immediately switched off)?

Q4 If HP pulls you over and asks you to pop the bonnet, what if you don't know how to do that? Does the officer have the right to reach in?

Q5 I've been told by a general duties officer that any police officer would have to have 'good cause' to look under the bonnet. What constitutes good cause?

There's Police who are on SAU. Can they tell us?

Q6 What if the handle to the bonnet has a bolt screwed in + lock attached + the key was somewhere at home? Can that officer break open the bonnet even if he/she wanted to use the 'good cause' excuse?

Q7 Is there a unit that can detect a Radar-Detector-Detector = A Radar-Detector-Detector-Detector? Nah Cancel That One!

I thought he was Tez' son too lolz.

Police are not even allowed to open your bonnet, you must pull the latch and open it as they cant touch it.

good cause to search your vehicle is only if they believe you may be carrying drugs; acting suspiciously etc. Only then they are allowed to touch things.

Personal opinion: i wouldnt spend money on a radar, i just dont speed when driving A to B. When i want to speed i do it on the freeway at like 3-4am when there is no1 around.

    • Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.
    • I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine
    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
    • Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
    • Nah mate, safe as $800k apartments
