She admitted that on 14th January last year on the A907 at Cambus she drove a car carelessly, drove through a red light, forcing another driver to take evasive action to avoid a collision.
The court heard that Ross’s driving licence had since expired.
Sheriff Neil Bowie said that if Ross renewed her licence it would be endorsed with nine penalty points.
He also fined her £470.
