Motorists who say ‘I hate speed cameras’ pay less to avoid fines

Motorists who say ‘I hate speed cameras’ pay less to avoid fines A speed camera detector that allows a motorist to spot hidden cameras is to be withdrawn from sale following the government’s plan to ban the device. In defiance to the proposed law which is likely to take effect next year, the speed camera detector supplier has announced they will immediately dispose of all remaining stock at a cut price to motorists who quote ‘I hate speed cameras’ at time of ordering.

Mark Cornwall of Car Parts Direct said, "Whilst the ‘I hate speed cameras’ campaign may seem like childish humour, the issue is a very serious one – speed cameras have ruined motorists’ lives with no real improvement to road safety. Once our device is outlawed more drivers will lose their licence. Once our current stock has gone a motorist won’t be able to buy a Quintezz – at any price."

The Quintezz speed camera spotter is designed to detect all Gatso and Laser speed cameras including the hidden mobile cameras that most devices cannot detect. Car Parts Direct has also guaranteed to pay £60 cashback to any user that receives a speeding ticket while their unit is fitted – a unique guarantee not offered by any other supplier of speed camera detectors.

The detector simply plugs in to the cigarette lighter socket and slides on to the dashboard. It alerts the driver by a series of lights and bleeps to any Gatso or Laser frequency. It plugs in and it’s ready to go and there is no subscription to pay or updating required. Whilst the company says false alerts are likely at traffic lights and supermarket doors most users consider this a small inconvenience compared to losing a driving licence.

The Quintezz device appears on the Car Parts Direct website at £199. Visitors to the site who simply put ‘I hate speed cameras’ in the box when asked for any other information relevant to the order will have £50 deducted from the price, paying just £149.
