A MOTORIST has told of her shock at being pulled over by the police and charged for having a bumper sticker which read: “don't be a c***”.

Georgia Venables, 29, placed the X-rated sticker on the back of her dark blue Peugeot 108 along with dozens of other stickers to “customise” her vehicle.

However, she was pulled over by a male police officer earlier this year who stated the sticker bearing the word “c***” could cause “offence”.

She was summonsed to appear before Chester Magistrates' Court where she pleaded not guilty to displaying threatening/abusive writing/sign/visible representation likely to cause harassment/ alarm/distress.

She was released on unconditional bail and told she was due to stand trial on Thursday, May 29.

“I am so relieved.
