There is no law preventing photography in a public place. I'd imagine that nobody has successfully taken this matter to court, using article 8 of the ECHR or similar, as there'd be associated case-law. Which there isn't.
If someone doesn't wish to have their photograph taken whilst undertaking their employment duties, then perhaps they're in the wrong job as a driver? Your employer does it for a start, via their CCTV system. It could also be said that operating in a public place, is a hazard of the job...
It is however an offence to make such hand gestures at a photographer, as covered by section 5 of the Public Order Act - Harassment, alarm or distress. Now that really would be a can of worms.
Well said Adrian. NK55 doesn't know what he's talking about.
