Warning for German motorists FRANKFURT, Germany -- German motorists have been told to stop making rude gestures at traffic cameras or they could be charged with offending the police. A Bavarian court has ruled that a driver who held up his middle finger while passing a traffic camera was addressing police officers rather than the equipment itself, German auto association Automobil Club Europe said. The motorist in question had argued that he didnt think the camera was switched on. Germany is renowned for having no speed restrictions on many of its motorways but rigorously enforces limits on other roads, often with the help of speed monitoring equipment.
