Lord Michael Heseltine has pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention and fined £5000 after he injured a cyclist in Northampton in June 2016.
The former deputy prime minister hit the cyclist after pulling out of a junction onto the B4525 in Thenford, Northamptonshire, on June 19 leaving the rider with severe arm and leg injuries.
The unnamed cyclist fractured his left arm in four places and injuries to his knees. He required pins and plates to rectify injuries after colliding with Lord Heseltine's Jaguar car.
