Daniel Lang was proven guilty of one count of driving a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road or public place without due care and attention by magistrates in January.

The court heard from the prosecutor that the 41-year-old had been caught out in Hereford's busy A465 Belmont Road after getting behind the wheel of a Volvo on June 9.
