A motorist who made V-signs at a police speed camera has been convicted of dangerous driving and banned for a year.
Sean Toehill, 21, took both hands off the steering wheel to make the gesture, although Cupar sheriff court, Fife, heard that he was not speeding and did not lose control.
Toehill, of Cupar, said afterwards: "I think it's incredibly harsh. Just because I'm a young guy, they want to make an example of me.
"I can't believe that speed cameras can be used in this way. I thought they were to catch speeding drivers."
