Legal radar detector use in Asia and the Middle East
Hurry! Vacation! You prepare to the big trip - visit your dream destination in the Middle East or in Asia. Everything is packed already, including your radar detector. You think you will use it in the rented car. And hard to believe but it is so: when you start your way either in a car or on a motorcycle with a radar detector in your suitcases, probably a wrong trip started immediately ... Not everywhere, but in many countries. What adventures are waiting for you?
You want to use radar detector (including motorcycle radar) as at home. You do not want speeding, yet you think, better to use this useful device to avoid problems on the streets. However, it may be illegal. Radar guns are used by policemen and other authorized persons. Everything is well-known. Police use radar gun, and generate signals to clock and ticket motor vehicle speeders. Before the signals reach your car, detector alerts you and you decelerate the speed. The newly developed radar detectors are able to make alert on the basis of accepting random signals in 360 degree, that is, before police radar would "discover" the speeding motor vehicles. For speeding, motorists are punished with heavy fines, tickets, etc. You want to avoid this situation and use your device in the moving vehicle. The police regulate its use in different ways. The rules cover car radar detectors and motorcycle radars too.
