But Chur Honor....I vas chust havving zum vun............ Don't Make Rude Gestures at Traffic Cameras! FRANKFURT (Reuters) - 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 didn't think the camera was switched on. ``But the video footage proves the opposite, showing the defendant looking at the video camera, raising his left arm and holding out his middle finger close to the windshield,'' ACE said. 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. .
