Courier driver loses licence after aggressive driving
Date: 21 August 2007
A courier van driver in Scotland has lost his licence because he drove aggressively behind a learner driver.
David Newlands was driving in such a way because he was on a tight schedule, but his actions left both the driving instructor and the student "shocked", ThisIsNorthScotland.co.uk reports.
Mr Newlands approached the learner car, which was clearly marked with L plates, in the village of Culloden and repeatedly drove up close and then backed off again.
The incident happened on March 12th this year, and yesterday (August 20th) the courier van driver had his licence revoked for six months by Inverness Sheriff Court. He was also fined £200.
Mr Newlands had pleaded guilty to driving carelessly and now faces the prospect of losing his job as a courier driver.
