A man has been fined after driving through a red light and narrowly missing a child on a bicycle.
Jody New, 45, of Harbour Close, Swindon, pleaded guilty to careless driving at a hearing at Swindon Magistrates’ Court on 7th October.
On 28th April, New drove through the traffic lights on Peglars Way near The Deanery Academy at speed, narrowly missing a student when the red light had been showing for around three seconds. He then screeched around the corner.
New has been given a fine of £307, £34 victim surcharge, £110 costs to Wiltshire Police and his licence endorsed with six points.
Wiltshire Police would like to thank the member of the public who came forward to report the incident and for the dashcam footage.
