Taunton Magistrates Courts A MOTORIST who jumped a red light avoided a driving ban to protect the jobs of 12 people he employs. Nicholas Squire, 63, drove through the red light on the A38 at Chritchard Way, with its junction with Wordsworth Drive, in Taunton, on May 11 last year. The three penalty point he received when he appeared at Taunton Magistrates Courts would normally result in a disqualification. But magistrates heard it could result in exceptional hardship for his workforce if his business was affected if he was unable to drive. It was also claimed he would risk being unable to pay his housing costs, which would impact on his family as well.
