Driver put on trial over 'offensive' bumper sticker that said 'don't be a c**t'

Prosecutor Valeriya Tonkinson told the court that Venables was seen driving on Deva Link on January 8 with a bumper sticker containing explicit language.

Tonkinson said the bumper sticker read: "Dont be a c**t."

The sticker's message was displayed on Venables' vehicle which was visible while she was driving.

The Crown Prosecution Service alleges the displayed writing was likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to other road users.

A trial has been scheduled for May 29 at Chester Magistrates Court.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

• Dad charged £100 after taking '20 seconds' to pick up daughter from Manchester Airport
• Thousands of motorists caught breaking major driving law to face 'almost inevitable' ban
• Widower, 70, fined £600 by council for feeding pigeons from OWN balcony

Venables was granted unconditional bail until her court appearance later this year.

It comes after a BMW driver who was caught speeding at 118mph on Christmas Day had slapped their car with a sticker declaring "My driving scares me too".

The motorist was pulled over by Hampshire Police after being clocked racing along the M27 motorway at more than double the national speed limit.

The driver took advantage of quieter festive traffic conditions on the Hampshire motorway, police said.

After pulling the vehicle over, officers discovered the black BMW had been adorned with various stickers, including the driver's prophetic message.

The speeding motorist now faces court action for the alleged offence.
