Would you give me some other examples of "with"?
I'm not sure what role "with" has in this context.

It's the normal meaning of "with" meaning accompanied by, and might be paraphrased as:

• police launch a crackdown on uninsured drivers this week - accompanied by the naming of the country's worst 15 "hotspots".

 

[lkjhg811]

Did she name them or did police name them?

Read the article: it says the MIB (Motor Insurers' Bureau) named the hotspots.

Data released by the MIB has revealed the UK's 15 worst postal "hotspots" for uninsured drivers ... (sky)

The use of "with" in this sentence just means "and the hotspots have been named"; the sentence itself doesn't say who named them. The detail is in the rest of the story. It's journalistic style.

She speaks about her ordeal as police launch a crackdown on uninsured drivers this week - with the country's worst 15 "hotspots" named.

Would the sentence still be natural if the underlined part were to be removed?

No, it wouldn't make sense.
"She speaks about her ordeal - with the country's worst 15 "hotspots" named." This sentence is grammatically correct but semantically defective (i.e. we don't know what it means), in other words "with the country's worst 15 "hotspots" named" has no logical connection with her speaking about her ordeal, and we don't understand what kind of "hotspots" they are.

The clause "with the country's worst 15 "hotspots" named" connects logically with police launching a crackdown on uninsured drivers, because the hotspots are places where most uninsured drivers have been found. If we don't have any connection between "uninsured drivers" and "hotspots", the sentence makes no sense.
