A dangerous driver “accelerated towards” a police officer in Aberdeen, forcing him to take evasive action to avoid being struck.
Scott Smith or Findlay admitted a total of three charges when he appeared in the dock at Aberdeen Sheriff Court over the incident, which happened on Virginia Street and Regent Quay.
The 29-year-old pled guilty to a charge of dangerous driving by, while displaying incorrect registration plates, accelerating harshly, speeding, and accelerating towards a police officer causing him to take evasive action.
The charge also states Findlay undertook three cars, flouted a one-way system, crashed head-on into another car, crashed into railings at a pedestrian crossing and narrowly avoided colliding with pedestrians.
The incident happened on August 12 last year.
Accused banned from driving
Findlay also admitted driving while disqualified and behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by shouting, swearing, acting in an aggressive manner and challenging others to fight.
Sheriff Lesley Johnston deferred sentence for background reports and defence agent Chris Maitland reserved mitigation until the sentencing hearing.
Findlay, of Ardgill Place, Foveran, was disqualified from driving in the interim and is due to be sentenced later in July.
