A van driver who transported a passenger on a wooden pallet in his vehicle must pay over £570 for breaking the law.
Aaron Anderson, 27, of Pembroke Street, Pembroke Dock was given the penalty by Llanelli magistrates last Wednesday, August 31 for using a vehicle where the way in which a passenger was carried was likely to cause danger.
The court heard that the offence came to light when police stopped a Vauxhall Corsavan being driven by Anderson on Ferry Lane, Pembroke Dock on March 19.
They found that a female passenger was lying or sitting on a wooden pallet being carried in the rear of the vehicle and that this involved the danger of injury.
