A SWANSEA valley motorist has been fined for speeding by magistrates.

Andre Colomazza, of Dolfain, Ystradgynlais, found the case against him proved in his absence under the single justice procedure at Llanelli court.

The 53-year-old was captured speeding by a laser gun travelling at a speed of 60mph in a 50mph zone on the A40 Llanspyddid on May 20.

He was fined £220, ordered to pay a £34 surcharge and £90 costs.

His licence was endorsed with three penalty points.

A charge of failing to identify the driver of a vehicle alleged to have been guilty of an offence, was withdrawn.
