A WOMAN drove erratically and into the flow of traffic 'for no reason' a court heard today.

Ashleigh Campbell, 29, was snared in Glasgow's West End in the early hours of January 17, 2020.

Campbell, of Falkirk, was behind the wheel of her mum's mobility car when she was caught by police changing speed.

She also forced an officer to slam on their brakes after stopping too quickly in front of a police car.

Campbell pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to dangerous driving.

She also admitted a separate charge of failing to appear at a court date.

The court heard officers had concerns over Campbell who was "driving in a suspicious manner".

Officers were placed ahead of Campbell on the road while stopped at a red traffic light.

The officers did not move off when the lights changed to green and waited for Campbell to pass in front of them.

Prosecutor Ross Canning said: "While driving in front of them, Campbell was driving erratically, swaying and dramatically changing speed.

"While travelling on Maryhill Road, the car stopped too quickly for the police car and the driver was forced to slam on his brakes."

Blue lights were activated and officers pulled alongside Campbell who was ordered to pull in at a bus stop.

Mr Canning added: "She did not come to a stop and continued into the flow of traffic on Great Western Road."

Blue lights were activated again and Campbell did eventually stop on this occasion.

Campbell's lawyer told the court that she was at a friend's house in the West End and went to a petrol garage.

The hearing was told Campbell missed a previous court date because she was in London.

Sheriff Amel Elfallah fined Campbell £320 and disqualified her from driving for 12 months.

The sheriff said: "You are lucky there were no cars on the road at that time.

"You are lucky there was not an accident.

"You were driving in this manner with no real reason."
