Prosecutor Laura Martin said: “Adair moved from lanes two to three and went to overtake the other vehicle.

“He passed through a flooded area and appeared to lose control and struck the other vehicle.

“The caused the driver of the other car to lose control and hit the central reservation.

“The car then did a 360.”

Adair was later traced and he was found to be a disqualified driver.

Des Ziolo, defending, told the court that it was a momentary lapse of judgement.

The lawyer added: “He should have known better as he works in the motor trade with cars in garages.

“He chose the wrong option.”

Sheriff Vincent Lunny told Adair that he should be going to jail.

He added: “The offence is going on 18 months and I’m prepared to give you a final chance.

“For a young man who works in the motor trade your manner of driving is appalling.”
