A motorist who installed a jamming device on her car to avoid speeding fines has avoided a jail term.
Debra Brown, 56, was spotted driving her BMW 135i on a country road but when cops tried to measure her speed they found their equipment was being jammed.
Police launched an investigation and when Brown's car was seized an examination revealed it was fitted with a Laser Pro Park device, which was connected to a Speed Cheetah.
