A drunk learner driver, pursued by the police on a motorway, jumped into the backseat when the car was travelling at 40mph.
Colin Gillies had been on a drunken joy ride across Fife, swerving about roads before the police chase on the M90. He then bizarrely got into the back seat as the car continued on its way, driverless.
His friend in the passenger seat had to lean over and grab the steering wheel as the car veered off the road and ended up on a grass verge, a court heard.
