AN UNINSURED driver who had an insecure load on his flatbed has been hauled before court.

Jamie Cooke was found to be driving a Ford Transit flatbed with various loose items on the back on Redbridge Flyover.

The 33-year-old was found to have an insecure, open toolbox along with a ratchet strap, wheelbarrow, and a saw blade all uncovered and not secure.

He was also found to have no insurance.

The incident happened on December 20 last year.

Appearing at Southampton Magistrates' Court, he pleaded guilty to using a vehicle dangerous due to security of load, and one charge of driving without insurance.

Cooke, of Benbow Gardens, Totton, was remanded on unconditional bail until the next hearing on April 21 to consider if there are special reasons for not ordering an endorsement or disqualification.
