A DISQUALIFIED driver took a car without consent then later refused to take a breath test.
Gary McBurney, 27, of Croftangry Road, Kelty, appeared from custody at Dunfermline Sheriff Court, where he admitted several offences committed on March 22.
At Croftangry Road, he took and drove away a car without the consent of the owner. He also admitted driving while disqualified and without insurance.
McBurney further admitted failing to provide two specimens of breath at Kirkcaldy police station and also behaving in a threatening or abusive manner on the journey there in a police van when he was repeatedly shouting, swearing and making threats of violence.
The court heard McBurney had a drink-driving conviction from last year, had breached a community payback order and was on a deferred sentence.
Sheriff Richard McFarland remanded McBurney in custody and he will be sentenced on April 19.
