The move to ban radar detector ownership in NZ is simply to protect revenue income.

NSW could not find ANY evidence that having a radar detector in a car caused crashes.
You Kiwi's have a choice, no discussion - just let Clarke and friends know that you won't tolerate a prohibition, write, ring and about it. Lose that existing right to own one, and you will likely lose it forever.
WA will continue to resist such a prohibition, unless it can be shown the devices are directly causing road crashes.
Would one of you Kiwi's be kind enough to have Helen Clarke direct LTSA to remove the 'Open Road Sign' (speed derestriction), the sign is an international one representing in international law; "END OF ALL LOCAL PROHIBITIONS IMPOSED ON MOVING VEHICLES", not 'open road speed limit 100', or 'default' or 'rural default speed-limit'. NZ remains the only country to get this sign wrong, and has done so since 1976, hopeless really.
They should.

lol, radar detectors are passive units and don't emit any signal, they are simply recievers. There for they can't be detected with anything other than a Mark one eyeball. LOL, love some of the crap that's made up on the internet
