RADAR DETECTORS - NOW ILLEGAL IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Western Australia amended its legislation to ban the use of radar detectors in vehicles.
As of 12 October 2020, harsh penalties will be imposed if WA drivers are caught driving a vehicle fitted (to/within or on their vehicle) with a radar detector.
It does not matter whether the radar detector is in operation or not.
Depending on the vehicle, drivers can face on the spot fines of up to $1,500 and 7 demerit points. Any subsequent re-offending will impose harsher penalties.
