Dangerous Driving at Lanark Sheriff Court. Driving on M74 at a speed over 100mph, while overtaking and in adverse weather conditions the client had been charged by the police with Dangerous Driving. We were able to prove, amongst other things, that the weather wasn’t quite as bad as the police had suggested. He pled guilty to the lesser offence of Careless Driving. The Sheriff imposed a fine and penalty points. He therefore avoided disqualification and an order to re-sit his test.
