Ryan Grant, 22, of Dochart Terrace, was fined £300 and issued with six driving penalty points at Dundee Sheriff Court.
Grant admitted driving a car carelessly by failing to maintain proper observation, overtaking a stationary bus, failing to stop at a red traffic light, failing to observe pedestrian Craig Coughtrie, then crossing, and colliding with him to his injury.
The incident took place in Dock Street at its junction with Gellatly Street on March 5 last year.
The court heard Grant was waiting in the lane next to a bus and edging forward “to see the lights” when he hit Mr Coughtrie at a low speed.
Mr Coughtrie suffered cuts and bruises and was taken to hospital as precaution.
