A driver caught with a second car balanced on top of his vehicle has been fined £195 and given three points on his licence.
Glyndwr Wyn Richards was caught at the wheel of a silver Volkswagen Passat with a Skoda Octavia perched on top as he drove through an industrial estate in Aberystwyth.
He pleaded guilty at Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on August 28 to using a vehicle in a way likely to cause danger or injury.
The 51-year-old was ordered to pay a fine of £80, a £30 victim surcharge and £85 in costs — although he was given credit for his early guilty plea.
