Nottingham Forest's Gibbs-White convicted over red light offence

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 14:02 · Archive

Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has been convicted of failing to provide the identity of a driver after his Range Rover was caught running a red traffic light in West Bridgford on 28 January. The vehicle was photographed passing the lights 1.1 seconds after they turned red on Radcliffe Road.

Gibbs-White failed to respond to two police letters asking whether he had been driving at the time. Nottinghamshire Police initially discovered the number plate registered with the DVLA was one letter different from what appeared on the vehicle. Staffordshire Police pulled over the Range Rover in April and confirmed it belonged to Gibbs-White.

At Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court last Tuesday, the 26-year-old England midfielder was sentenced to a £660 fine, six penalty points on his driving licence, and ordered to pay £120 in costs and a £264 victim surcharge, totalling £1,000. He did not enter a plea or mitigation and was sentenced behind closed doors under the fast-track Single Justice Procedure.

This is Gibbs-White's second driving conviction in recent months. He was banned from driving for six months in May last year after being caught speeding six times in three months, and ordered to pay nearly £4,000 in fines including two penalties acquired on the same day.
