The verdict was proved in his absence at Chelmsford Magistrates Court
A DRIVER has been fined more than £200 after being convicted of overtaking within pedestrian crossing limits.
Leon Smith, of New Street, Halstead, was riding a KTM 125 index bike on September 28 last year, when he overtook a vehicle which had stopped for a red light at a pedestrian crossing in Braintree.
