Video: Speeding red-light jumping driver who almost hit schoolchild fined – but not banned Footage released by Wiltshire Police shows young cyclist braking to avoid being hit cycling
A driver in Wiltshire who sped through a red traffic light outside a school, almost hitting a child who was crossing the road on their bike, has been fined after pleading guilty to careless driving, but social media users have expressed shock that he escaped a driving ban and was not charged with dangerous driving.
Dashcam footage captured by a driver who stopped at the traffic lights show that the lights turned from green to amber for three seconds, and just before they turned red, two students from the school began crossing the road on their bikes. “We’d like to thank the member of the public who came forward to report the incident and for the dashcam footage,” officers added.
One said: “Bearing in mind he made a conscious decision to jump the red light and endanger a child’s life why wasn't this dangerous driving?” Another comment read: “I don’t understand how these sentences are given! Surely the fact this could have been a major accident with a child involved should make this a much more serious motor offence than a fine? Even running a red light without the fact that people were in danger should be more than a fine.”
