Re: Va. House defeats radar detector bill

Va. House defeats radar detector bill
Only state in the nation where radars are illegal
Updated: Thursday, 11 Feb 2010, 7:27 PM EST
Published : Thursday, 11 Feb 2010, 7:27 PM EST
The Virginia House of Delegates Thursday defeated a bill that would allow drivers to use radar detectors.
After 61 nays and 38 yeas during the vote, Virginia is now the only state in the United States that has a law prohibiting the use of radar detectors.
The law does state, however, that motorists are allowed to have them within the Commonwealth, but they are not allowed to be connected to any power source.

Re: Radar detector ban in Virginia.. to end?
As you may know, Virginia is the only state that bans the use and sale of radar detectors. There is no evidence that the radar detector ban increases highway safety. Our nation’s fatality rates have fallen consistently for almost two decades. Virginia’s fatality rate has also fallen, but not any more dramatically than it has nationwide. Research has even shown that radar detector owners have a lower accident rate than motorists who do not own a detector.
Maintaining the ban is not in the best interest of Virginians or visitors to the state. I know and know of people that will not drive in Virginia due to this ban. Unjust enforcement practices are not unheard of, and radar detectors can keep safe motorists from being exploited by abusive speed traps. Likewise, the ban has a negative impact on Virginia’s business community. Electronic distributors lose business to neighboring states and Virginia misses out on valuable sales tax revenue.
We have to fight this dumb law...Write letters to the General Assembly members.
