Biker fined for speed camera gestures
A teenage motorcyclist who deliberately set off 26 different speed cameras giving German police the finger in each one has been fined £4,000.
Dimitri Salovic, 17, covered up in biking leathers and a full-face helmet, hid his registration number before roaring around Munich at speeds of up to 70mph, a court heard.
Police finally nabbed him when they worked out a pattern to his route and set up an undercover traffic team where they thought he'd strike next.
Salovic - whose licence was seized after he was given 78 points by magistrates - is facing further charges for driving on a provisional licence which only allowed him to use scooters and mopeds.
what do you think?

Don't the German police have anything better to do with their time ? and if he can go past the speed camera's one handed at 70mph sticking his finger up perhaps they should give him a full licence. In this country bankers stuck their fingers up at all of us and they got a Bonus !.

It was a little dangerous to be fair but well done all the same.

Hardly giving them the finger - he had two up - an inoffensive rock and roll handsign. He seems to have had fun though.

Of course, I could not condone this behaviour and of course I've never done the same myself officer . Just a numpty for doing it regularly enough to get predictable, most bikers get bored of this before then.

Leisure bikers, unregistered vehicles and foreign visitors can go thru laser/anpr here with total impunity. But this numpty got caught at 33.....twice....rolling downhill, makes you want to scream!

You must be new here, Simon. Orange doesn't have any standards it seems.
