A MOTORIST has been banned for dangerous driving after going around a roundabout in the wrong direction.

Glenn Fotheringham’s driving almost caused a crash in the incident near Lochgelly, Dunfermline Sheriff Court has heard.

Fotheringham, 37, of Viewfield Terrace, Lumphinnans, appeared in the dock and admitted dangerous driving.

On October 20 last year, on the B9149 near the junction with the A92, he drove around a roundabout in the wrong direction, causing an oncoming vehicle to take evasive action to avoid a collision.

Sheriff Charles MacNair called for reports and Fotheringham will be sentenced. A temporary ban with immediate effect was imposed until then.
