Driver nabbed with radar detector
March 21, 2008
A driver has been fined $1245 after he was caught with an illegal radar detector, police say.
The 38-year-old man, driving a Holden Monaro, also lost nine points off his licence after he was pulled over by traffic police today in Rozelle, in Sydney's inner-west.
"Leichhardt Highway Patrol were patrolling Victoria Road, just west of the Anzac Bridge ... when officers using an unmarked car observed a driver allegedly using a radar detector," police said.
"The modified Holden Monaro was stopped and the driver was spoken to."
The car was pulled over by police conducting an Easter crackdown on speed and other road safety offences.
It is illegal to use a speed radar detecting device on the road in most Australian states.
