Davies knocked a cyclist off his bike at the Chat- burn Road roundabout in Clitheroe and the cyclist received bruising to his


left leg. Davies said he was driv­


ing at around 20 m.p.h. when approaching the roundabout. “I had to give way. I thought there was no need to slow down,” he


said. In mitigation, Davies


explained that the cyclist had been wearing dark green clothing, but did have lights on his bike. He said: “Unfortunately I did not see the cyclist.”


Davies £120, with £25 costs, and his licence was endorsed with four penalty points.
