A driver who sped through a Pembrokeshire village at double the speed limit must pay more than £300 in fines and surcharges and has had six points put on his licence.

Gareth Peter Stevenson, 24, was caught driving his Ford Focus Zetec 100 through the 20mph area of the village of St Dogmaels at a speed of 40mph.

District Judge Stephen Harmes, at Haverfordwest Magistrates Court, heard that Stevenson, of Penparc, has sped through the village on November 29 last year.
