Germany motorway shooter 'motivated by bad driving'

Police in Germany say the man they have arrested over more than 700 motorway shootings fired at other vehicles because of anger over bad driving.

The 57-year-old lorry driver was held in a raid in western Germany on Sunday. Officers say he led them to a cache of firearms.

He is accused of shooting at lorries on motorways, injuring one woman.

Last year, police quadrupled a reward for information on the shootings to 100,000 euros (£85,000) after larger 9mm ammunition was used for the first time, increasing the potential threat.

.. As a strategy to compel bad drivers to better themselves, shooting at them might not be all that effective.

What I find fascinating is how long this went on before to caught him. 700... Amazing.
