A DRIVER has been fined £100 for running a red light.

Matthew Vialls was driving a Ford Kuga in Harold Wood, Havering, in October last year when he drove through a red light at the A12 junction with Gubbins Lane in Romford.

Magistrates in Stratford considered the case against Vialls, of Boadicea Way, Colchester, last month.

Vialls admitted one charge of failing to comply with automatic traffic equipment and was fined £100.

Magistrates also ordered the defendant, 34, to pay a victim surcharge of £40.
