A driver has been fined more than £700 after injuring a fellow motorist in a head-on collision in Potter Bar.
Christian Stoiciu, of Byron Road, Harrow, Greater London, was driving his BMW 320i on January 28 this year when he crashed into a Toyota Prius on Mutton Lane while in the wrong lane, injuring the driver.
Following the incident, he was charged with driving without due care and attention contrary to section 3 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and Schedule 2 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988.

He has also been disqualified from driving until passing a test, while six penalty points have been added to his license.
