JUMPING a red light has triggered an 18-month driving ban for a Southampton man.

Robert Marinescu, 25, of Shirley Road, Shirley, drove a 02-reg Hyundai Amica through the light on Millbrook Road West, Millbrook, on August 2 2019, Basingstoke Magistrates Court heard.

Marinescu was present in court to admit the charge.

Magistrates said the ban was obligatory because of repeat offending and also fined him £130 with a £30 victim surcharge and £90 costs.
