West Mercia Police said: “This motorist decided to make their feelings known as they drove past a speed camera in Shropshire recently.

“By doing so, they committed an offence of not being in a position to have full view of the road.

“The ‘What’s Driving Us’ course they had to attend as a result of this offence aims to give attendees an insight into driver behaviour and the importance of driving with consideration towards other road users.”
