A 73-YEAR-OLD Pembrokeshire motorist has admitted careless driving after performing an unsafe overtake which was caught on camera by a cyclist.
The court heard that the cyclist was travelling west on the B4313 towards Fishguard on March 28. There was a van parked on the opposite side of the road.
As the cyclist drew level with the van, David Davies, who was driving eastward, overtook the van and crossed onto the side of the road that the cyclist was on. Davies did not allow sufficient room for the cyclist, the court heard.
The incident was recorded on a GoPro camera.
