Woman’s offensive C-bomb bumper sticker almost landed her in jail

There are two types of people in this world. Those who like ‘live, laugh, love’ and grey crushed velvet, and those whose motto is ‘don’t be a c**t’.  

Georgia Venables is definitely the second of those.

The 29-year-old ended up being hauled to court because her Peugeot 108 was found to be in possession of multiple weaponised bumper stickers.

She found herself being repeatedly pulled over by the same PC PC because one of those stickers used Georgia C-word.

Georgia, a part-time rebel and full-time car decorator, said that she wanted to ‘give my car a bit of personality and humour’, but instead she was accused of causing harassment, alarm or distress.

So much harassment, alarm and distress that she was almost put on trial before the case was dropped by the CPS.

Among the 40 messages she has plastered on her car are such classics as ‘if my driving offends you, F off’, ‘Caution: Watch out for the idiot behind me’ and an illustration of Donald Duck flipping the bird.

The sticker in question had ‘live, laugh, love’ crossed out and underneath it were the words ‘don’t be a c**t’.

Over the two years that she’s had the car, she has spent about £80 on her stickers – averaging about £2 per passive aggressive insult.

According to an independent survey carried out by Georgia among her friends, colleagues and strangers, nobody is offended by her display.

She said: ‘I once had an old man outside a supermarket standing reading them and chuckling. He said I had a good sense of humour.

‘I put them on as I liked how they looked – I never put them on to offend anyone.’

Speaking after being spared from a potential life sentence for the crime of the century, she said: ‘I am so relieved. I’ve been stopped over a previous sticker in the past and the officer asked me to remove it – which I did.

‘But this time, I was stopped for no reason and told that I was going to be summoned to court. It was the same officer both times.’

Cheshire Police insist that all stops are conducted in line with national guidance.

She added: ‘I just want the police to leave me alone so I can go about my life because I do like to go for a night drive.’
