A DANGEROUS driver has been jailed for six months and 54 days for failing to complete an unpaid work order. 

Aidan Stewart, 22, of Blackhall Square, Kelty, had been ordered to do a community payback order after he sped through Townhill, near Dunfermline, at 70mph. 

He had also been sentenced for domestic abuse against a former partner. 

Stewart previously admitted that on November 11, 2016, at an address in Kelty, he behaved in a threatening or abusive manner which was likely to cause fear or alarm by repeatedly uttering offensive remarks towards his former partner, shouted, swore and threatened to damage property. 

Also, on March 27, 2014, at Loch Leven Terrace, Kelty, he took and drove away a car without the consent of the owner or other lawful authority.

And on Townhill Road in Dunfermline, he failed to stop for a police constable. 

On the same day, on Gardeners Street in Dunfermline, Townhill Road and Main Street, Townhill, he drove dangerously, repeatedly crossed onto the opposite side of the road and lost control on a bend, whereby the car left the road and crashed, all while driving at excessive speed and causing damage to the car. 

And at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, he did without reasonable excuse fail to provide a specimen of blood when required to do so. 

Depute fiscal Azrah Yousaf explained to Dunfermline Sheriff Court that, in the incident in November 11, 2016, Stewart's former partner had started a new relationship and the pair were at home together. 

Stewart came to her front door and was clearly agitated. 

He said: "The next time you have someone in the house make sure I can't hear you, you're nothing but a slapper."

The complainer went to the front door to challenge the accused and Stewart continued to be abusive, calling her a "slut" and a "whore". 

He also said he would torch the couple's cars, the court was told. 

Ms Yousaf explained in the road incident from 2014, Stewart had failed to stop for officers and give a specimen of blood. 

The car he drove belonged to his father who had no idea it had been taken and at about 11.45pm, police officers were on duty when they noticed a vehicle reversing, nearly hitting the wall of a nearby property. 

Stewart continued to drive dangerously around Townhill, hitting speeds of up to 70 mph. 

Police rang for medical staff when they saw the car had left the road and was damaged in a ditch, with the air bags deployed. 

It was clear to them he had been under the influence of drink. 

Defence solicitor Chris Sneddon said his client had hoped his relationship would continue but lost his temper when he saw who the complainer was with. 

"He accepts taking the car was stupid," he added. 

Sheriff Charles Macnair said the offences were serious matters and Stewart had plenty of opportunities to complete his unpaid work order, which still had 106 hours to go.
