Default RADAR Detectors, only for hoons?

I tripped across this while looking for antennas.

http://www.adrawa.com.au/sws.htm

In WA, radar detectors are being used to save lives and warn about danger ahead including attending ambulances, traveling farming equipment, roadworks etc.

In all other states the penalty for possession of one of these things is all of your points and several thousand dollars fine.

Whoda thunk that the state government of WA would be the first legislature that actually was more concerned with people's safety than speed camera revenue?

I have read so many dribbles from wowsers against higher speed limits citing "what if there was an unexpected tractor" etc. Well here is the solution to that problem. It would also warn against black spots because as we all know speed cameras and radar enforcement is only ever done in dangerous places and never safe places as it is all about saving lives not making money......

Now reversing the spin, "If it saves only one life"..........
