Cameron drove his vehicle dangerously by entering the opposing carriageway to prevent Mr Murphy to overtake him.

The dangerous manoeuvre caused the motorcycle to carry out an emergency stop and caused the bike to collide with the rear of Cameron’s car.

Mr Murphy was then thrown from his two-wheeled vehicle whereby he landed on the roadside resulting in him suffering severe injury and permanent impairment.

Sheriff Kenneth Campbell QC sent Cameron to prison for the next 18 months and banned him from driving for four years and nine months.

Cameron will also have to sit and pass the extended driving test before he is allowed back on the road following his ban.
