A MAN has pleaded guilty to careless driving while overtaking a bicycle on the A85 near Dunbeg.
Gareth John Mathias, of 8 Walkington Road, Little Weighton, Cottingham, admitted driving carelessly on the A85 near the Halfway House filling station on February 22, when he overtook a cyclist in contravention of double solid white lines, forcing an oncoming police car to take emergency action to avoid a collision.
Procurator fiscal Eoin McGinty told Oban Sheriff Court on Wednesday: ‘The police had to slow down to allow the vehicle to overtake safely.’
