A driver who was caught on dashcam by a member of the public driving without due care and attention in December last year on the A429 near Wellesbourne has been fined.

The 53 year old from Coventry can be seen on the rear dashcam weaving towards the central markings as if looking for an overtake.

He attended Leamington Magistrates Court on 9 July 2025 and was sentenced to 8 points on his licence and a £323 fine. He was also ordered to pay costs and victim surcharge.

PC Ken Bratley, Road Safety Officer said ”Initially this driver did not believe he had done anything wrong. However eventually he was persuaded by his solicitor that he had committed the offences and pleaded guilty. We can only hope being caught by Op Snap is the wake up call he needs to become a safer more considerate driver.”
