AN Ulverston man has been fined for a road rage incident.

Edward Charles Hall, 20, appeared at Furness Magistrates' Court yesterday and pleaded guilty to using threatening, abusive or insulting words of behavior on August 8.

The offence happened on the A590 between Swarthmoor and Lindal after a road incident.

The court heard Hall got out of the car and swore and pointed in the face of a driver.

Defending, Miss Amy Watkin, said Hall, of Windsor Crescent, Ulverston, was apologetic and it was out of character. He was ordered to pay £280.
