German man flips off speed camera - and gets a 75 times higher fine and a one-month driving ban

This driver in Bavaria was caught in April 2020 driving down the B289 at 81 kilometres per hour, in a 70-limit zone.

The speeding only results in a small warning fine of 20 euros, according to the Highway Code. 

But the 26-year-old driver managed to increase his fine 75-fold.

Just as the speed camera fired, the driver stuck up his middle finger. 

The traffic police in Bayreuth duly reported his offence to the Kulmbach district court, who laid down a fine of 1.500 euros and a one-month driving ban. 

The charge? Being insulting in road traffic (Beleidigung im Straßenverkehr), an offence which carries a fine of up to 4.000 euros.

      Nothing you said made sense, are you typing with a pencil in your mouth and trying to conserve words?
