A HEREFORD man has been fined by magistrates after he was caught driving with an excessively noisy exhaust in a Hereford city centre street.

The court heard from the prosecutor that the 24-year-old had been caught driving a Skoda Octavia in Hereford’s St Owen Street on October 22.
The car’s exhaust system had been altered so as to increase the noise made by the escape of exhaust gasses, magistrates were told at the hearing.
Lawrence, of Etnam Street in Leominster, was fined £220 for the offence.
He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £90 and an £88 victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime.
