A drink-driver smashed into the central reservation barrier on the M90 in Fife.

When police arrived at the scene the driver Ian Paton refused to give them his details.

Paton, 32, of Harburn Road, West Calder, appeared for sentencing at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.

He admitted that on 23rd May on the M90 southbound at junction three he drove a car having consumed excess alcohol.

His reading was 61 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, the legal limit being 22 microgrammes.

He also admitted he failed to give his name to police.

The court heard Paton has a previous conviction for drink-driving.

Sheriff Alastair Brown imposed a community payback order with 200 hours of unpaid work and banned him from driving for two years.
