A Llangoedmor man has been banned from the road for a year after admitting a charge of failing to provide a specimen of urine to police.

William Nickson, of The Caravan, Coedmor Wood, Croes y Llan Lle, appeared before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court for a planned trial on 20 February.

The 49-year-old had pleaded not guilty at a hearing in December to failing to provide a specimen of urine for a laboratory test at Cardigan on 9 November.

Nickson changed his plea to guilty ahead of the trial.

Magistrates disqualified Nickson from driving for 12 months and fined him £140.

He must also pay costs to the Crown Prosecution Service of £350 as well as a victim fund surcharge of £56.
