Kane, J.

By this appeal we are asked to determine if a judge hearing a speeding citation based on radar must require a threshold showing that the radar machine was a reliable devise for measuring speed. Otherwise stated, must a judge in the absence of any formal or informal objection to the radar result, require a preliminary demonstration of the machine's reliability. We review this question in the context of the facts presented by this case.
