REDUCE YOUR RISK OF FACING THAT FINE Motorists caught using an illegal speed camera detection device will face a fine and penalty points on their licence. One supplier is offering to take back all illegal devices from their customers rather than see them break the law. Any detector that picks up a signal from a speed camera or police laser gun is Illegal to use or even carry in a vehicle. Speed camera spotters that use sat nav are to remain legal to use. Mail order specialist, Car Parts Direct is offering a full refund to customers wanting to return banned devices and will upgrade them to a new legal Satellite Navigator and Camera spotter. Customers that bought in the last six months will get the full £199 off the purchase price. Those that bought more than six months ago get 50% off the cost. Mark Cornwall of Car Parts Direct said, ''Customers bought radar detectors in good faith, when they were legal to use. Now the government have banned them, thousands of motorists are out of pocket and with no protection against cameras. Whilst we did warn that radar detectors could be banned, we feel obliged to offer our customers support.'' Argos and Halfords have also sold devices that have now been made illegal, they have not offered a return option to their customers. In a bold move to win sat nav customers, Car Parts Direct say they will also accept other brands of radar detectors that they have not supplied and pay a £50 allowance, irrelevant of the brand or where the product was purchased. Motorists can use the £50 allowance against the purchase of their new Rossini Navigator and Speed Camera Spotter. The offer is expected to run for a few weeks with 500 Rossini Navigator units allocated for the promotion. The Rossini provides full postcode door-to-door navigation. The supplier claims it is the only satellite navigation device that offers a cast iron guarantee that a motorist will be given advance warning of all types of speed cameras - including all mobile locations. There is no subscription for updates of information. It is fully transferrable between vehicles in seconds and is ready to use. The supplier also pays a £60 cashback guarantee to any driver that receives a speeding ticket where they are not alerted to a speed camera. The Rossini Navigator costs £399 less the refundable amount for the illegal radar detector to be returned. To upgrade to the Rossini Navigator simply visit www.carparts-direct.co.uk or call 0870 977 9666.
