The trailer only had three wheels and tyres were defective. This happened in a busy residential area.

Mr John McAtamney, representing the defendant, said his client had a load of potatoes for his cattle and the trailer was usually used for silage in the fields.

He added that his client had the tyres and trailer rectified which cost over £800.
