An Aberystwyth man has been fined for crossing solid white lines to overtake a car.

Llanelli Magistrates’ Court heard on 26 February that Alun Hubbard, of 2 Science Block, Bryn Ardwyn was driving a Volvo C70 on the A458 towards Barmouth on 14 October last year.

The 55-year-old admitted a charge of failing to comply with solid white line road markings by “overtaking another vehicle where all four wheels are over the opposite carriageway.”

Hubbard also pleaded guilty to driving a car without a valid MOT.

Hubbard was handed a £221 fine and magistrates endorsed three penalty points on his licence.

He must also pay costs to £110 as well as a surcharge to fund victim services of £88.
