Footage was provided by a member of the public showing the driver of a vehicle travelling at speed and undertaking the witness who was travelling in lane 2 of the A55 dual carriageway. The offending vehicle then forces its way into lane 2 as it overtakes a vehicle in lane 1, forcing the vehicle already in lane 2 to brake sharply. Offender then immediately attempts to undertake another vehicle that was in lane 2 but was actually moving back into lane 1. The driver’s actions caused numerous vehicles to brake harshly, and a collision was narrowly avoided. The driver was identified, however they failed to comply with the Conditional Offer of a Fixed Penalty.
The matter was sent to Court where the driver pleaded guilty to driving without due care/attention and was issued with fines/costs totalling £706 and 6 penalty points.
