Tas opposition leader fined over car crash

Tasmanian Opposition Leader Bryan Green has been fined $140 for causing a car crash in Hobart.

Mr Green's four-wheel drive collided with another car last Wednesday, just two days after he was elected state Labor leader.

He was on Monday issued with a $140 fine and docked three demerit points for failing to stop at a red light, an opposition spokesman told AAP.

The former deputy premier has admitted responsibility for the crash.

"I think it is fair to say I would have been in the wrong under the circumstances," he told reporters on Friday.

No-one was injured in the collision.

In 2011, Mr Green had his licence suspended for three months and was fined $260 after he was caught drink driving.

He has also walked away from two light plane crashes, in 2006 and 2010.
