A drunk-driver who forced another motorist onto the pavement, pranged kerbs, and collided with a parked car before being restrained by angry locals was spared jail today.
James Stewart, 50, described by his own lawyer as a man never known to commit an offence sober, was nearly five times the legal limit at the time of the incident at 2.30 in the afternoon, Falkirk Sheriff Court was told.
It began when a man driving on Carron Road, Falkirk saw Stewart driving a car "erratically" towards him.
