A motorist who accelerated away from a marked police car at a speed of 117mph on the M9 near Pirnhall was last week banned from the road for four years.
David Graham had repeatedly failed to indicate while changing lanes, driven at excessive speed and failed to leave a safe stopping distance between other road users on the motorway – causing other motorists to take evasive action to avoid a collision.
The 33-year-old, who appeared for sentence at Stirling Sheriff Court last Wednesday, had admitted a charge of dangerous driving.
