S18 road safety act 2006

[usemyname]

Hello

is the s18. Road safety act 2006 now active/enforced? Specifically the part which refers to making use of a detection device an offence? Thanks

[des8]

Yes.
You been detected using such a scanner?

[usemyname]

No I have not been detected. I was just wondering. When did this happen? I thought the use of radar detectors (not jammers) was legal?

[usemyname]

It’s just confusing because if you look at the whole legislation it’s marked as “prospective”

[des8]

Thanks for correcting me
That will teach me to read more thoroughly!

The ban never came into force in the UK, altho' illegal in many other countries

No worries thank you
