A 65-YEAR-OLD Crossgates woman who was caught driving while disqualified has been warned she faces jail if she repeats the offence.

A neighbour saw Iona Coupar driving and knew she had been banned.

As a result, Coupar, of Droverhall Avenue, appeared back in the dock at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.

She admitted that on February 17, in Droverhall Avenue, she drove while disqualified.

She also drove a car without an MOT.

Depute fiscal Dev Kapadia said Coupar’s neighbours were aware that she had been banned from driving last year when the case was covered in the local media.

At 5.30pm, a neighbour who was an off-duty policeman saw her driving her car. He spoke to her and asked if she should be driving and she admitted she should not be.

Sheriff Alastair Brown called for reports and Coupar will be sentenced on October 27.

He warned Coupar: “If you drive while disqualified again, you’re going to find yourself locked up.”

Last October, Coupar was sentenced for drug-driving on the B9157 near Aberdour and Braefoot Bay.

On that occasion, an off-duty police officer became concerned at Coupar’s erratic driving.

The off-duty officer decided he would have to stop her car when she pulled into the staff car park at Braefoot Bay; he blocked the entrance so she could not leave.

The court was told her condition was due to drugs she had taken because of a headache but she had not checked what they were.

She was fined £575 and banned from driving for 16 months.
