PONTYPRIDD, Wales — Myrddin Thomas was fined last week for driving too slow but said he’d do it again because “the world is going too fast.”
The 53-year-old former coal miner was fined $80 for driving 20 m.p.h. in a 30-m.p.h. zone, creating a two-mile line of fuming drivers behind him. “When he was cautioned by police, he said he always drives slowly,” prosecutor Alison Morris told the court.
Magistrate Richard Evans told Thomas that his driving could cause frustrated motorists behind him to crash.
After the ruling, the Welshman was unrepentant.
