• Lorry driver Mr James Davies, of Wingsfield Road, Stretford, Manchester, was fined £20 and received a licence endorsement after pleading guilty to dangerous driving at Chorley magistrates' court last week.
The magistrates heard that when the lorry driven by Davies suddenly changed lanes a car travelling at 70 mph was forced to swerve on to the central reservation of M61.
In his evidence, Davies said that a lorry had pulled out in front of him and that if he had braked another vehicle might have crashed into the back of his.
