A CONFUSED HGV driver sped along the wrong side of a dual carriageway at nearly 60mph.
Bernard Blair drove his 50-ton lorry nearly six miles while it was snowing and dark before causing two other motorists to crash.
A court heard Blair had been stopped by another trucker to warn him he was on the wrong carriageway – then drove off again in the wrong direction.
Blair, 59, from Motherwell, was banned from driving for 18 months and placed under a curfew from 8pm to 6am for four months.

SO MUCH AT STEAK
WHAT'S that old saying again, one swallow doesn't make a summer? Well, one 6-0 win over Kilmarnock isn't going to guarantee that things are about to warm up over the winter period at Ibrox. With my old club currently shivering 11 points adrift at the top of the table, I'm not daft enough to suggest otherwise.
