A CARDIGAN lorry driver has been fined by magistrates for driving with a loose metal bolster that could have caused injury.

Emlyn Nash, of 4 Windsor Terrace, Aberystwyth Road, pleaded guilty at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court to driving a Scania lorry on the A4120 at Aberystwyth on 16 June “when its condition, namely a metal bolster from the rear of the lorry had come loose, was such that its use involved a danger of injury to any person.”

The 53-year-old was fined £400 and handed three penalty points.

He must also pay a £160 surcharge.
