ARE DETECTORS LEGAL?
In Most States YES!
Laser-Radar detectors are legal in every
state (with the exception of Virginia and
Washington, D.C., which have local regula-
tions restricting the use of radar receivers in
any vehicle).
Concerning trucks over 10,000 lbs., the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
issued a regulation, effective January, 1994
which prohibits radar detector use in these
types of vehicles nationally.
