FOUR cars were damaged by a teenager, who was drink-driving and did not even hold a valid licence.

Ross McAlpine, 18, was almost three times the limit when he smashed into parked cars after attending a stock car meeting.

McAlpine, unemployed, of Longlees Road, Falkirk, appeared at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.

He admitted that on April 8, in Chapel Street, Cowdenbeath, he drove a car carelessly by failing to maintain control of it and collided with four vehicles, causing damage to all of them.

He drove with excess alcohol, 65 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, the legal limit being 22 mgs.

He also drove without a valid driving licence and without insurance.

The court was told McAlpine had been at a stock car meeting with his dad before the offences.

Sheriff Allison McKay called for reports and McAlpine will be sentenced on September 27. The sheriff also imposed an interim driving ban.
