V-sign driver is banned
By Auslan Cramb
(Filed: 11/01/2006)

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.
