Day the law caught up with 'fingers' Fiat driver

Zooming past the speed camera at almost double the limit, this driver sticks his finger up to the law.

But the law finally caught up with Andrew Eva, who has now been banned from the roads for eight weeks.

The 37-year-old, of Williams Close, Gosport, was caught speeding on the A32 in Gosport Road, Fareham.



He was travelling in a Fiat at 54mph in a 30mph zone and was snapped making a rude gesture out of the window in June last year.

Despite the number plate on his car being missing, police still managed to track him down. Fareham magistrates banned him from driving for 56 days, saying the finger gesture was an aggravating factor.

Julian Hewitt, spokesman for the Safer Roads Partnership, said: 'This is a good example of partnership intelligence officers working with police to prevent someone getting away with breaking the law.'
