The court heard from prosecutor Andrew Saunders that the 78-year-old had driven a Ford Galaxy without due care and attention on the busy A465 at Wormbridge in Hereford on September 15 last year.
Wheatstone, of Railway Terrace, Sebastopol, Pontypool, was fined £80 and received five penalty points on his licence for the offence, with magistrates saying they had taken his guilty plea into account when deciding on the penalty.
He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £110 and a £32 victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime.
