A TEENAGE driver has been fined by magistrates after he was caught driving with a dodgy exhaust.
Ewan Bradley Blight was found guilty of using a vehicle with an exhaust system that was not maintained in good and efficient working order by magistrates in Worcester earlier this month.
The court heard from the prosecutor that the 19-year-old had been caught behind the wheel of a Skodia Fabia in Hereford’s Blue School Street on September 21 last year.
The car was found to have an exhaust system which was not maintained in a good and efficient working order.

This is an offence under the 1986 road vehicles regulations, which say every exhaust system and silencer must be maintained in good and efficient working order and not be altered so as to increase the noise made.
Blight, of Cross Keys, Hereford, was fined £220. He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £90 and an £88 victim surcharge.
He must pay the total balance of £398 by May 9.
