Hamilton Sheriff Court heard he reversed at speed into another vehicle in Walnut Place, Viewpark, on January 8 this year. Then, breaking the speed limit, he lost control and crashed into a car in North Road, Bellshill.

Charges alleging Ray had a knife and challenged people to fight in Walnut Place were dropped.

Sheriff Douglas Brown told Ray, now of Burnbrae Road, Blantyre, he will be under supervision for one year.
