Maesycwmmer man accused of risky overtaking manoeuvre near Pen y Fan
A LORRY driver has denied a charge of dangerous driving following an alleged overtaking incident on the A470 near Pen y Fan.
Anthony Rees, 60, of Tabor Road, Maesycwmmer, appeared before Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (Apr 1), charged with dangerous driving and failing to comply with solid white line road markings.
The court heard the allegations relate to an incident on October 28, 2025, involving a Scania heavy tractor articulated lorry travelling on the A470 near Brecon.
Prosecutors allege that Rees began overtaking another vehicle while the road markings were broken white lines, but continued the manoeuvre past warning signs indicating bends ahead.
It is further alleged that he carried on overtaking around a right-hand bend, crossing solid white lines, before returning to the correct side of the road shortly before a blind left-hand bend.
Rees entered not guilty pleas to both charges.
The case was adjourned for a further case management hearing at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, April 22.
A trial date has been set for Monday, April 27, at the same court.
