A DRIVER who crashed his girlfriend’s car and flipped it onto its roof was fined £1,275.

Josh McFall, 23, collided the Mercedes with a parked Nissan Duke in Glasgow’s Springboig on April 12, 2022.

McFall, of the city’s Easterhouse, fled the scene before being picked up by police when he refused to do a breath test.

He would also not tell officers that he was the driver in the crash.

McFall later claimed he was scared of his girlfriend’s potential reaction to the incident.

The first offender pleaded guilty today at Glasgow Sheriff Court to careless driving.

He also admired having insurance, leaving the scene of a crime and failing to provide a specimen of breath.

The court heard McFall caused damage to both vehicles.

Prosecutor Derek Buchanan said: “McFall’s vehicle was flipped onto its roof.

“He got out of the vehicle and he was seen to be limping away.”

Police arrived but McFall had left the scene and checks were made.

They caught up with him an hour later where he was required to identify the driver of the vehicle.

McFall smirked in the dock as Mr Buchanan told the court that he replied: “F*** off.”

He was then asked to provide a breath specimen and he stated: “No, shove it up your a***.”

McFall was arrested but thrashed his arms around to prevent handcuffs being put on.

He was later transported to hospital for treatment to a small finger wound.

McFall’s blood was taken but was not analysed.

His lawyer told the court: “He made a terrible decision and made more terrible decisions - he was in a state of panic.

“He took his partner’s car while she was asleep to buy cigarettes at a garage and he got involved in this incident which spiralled.

“He realised that he would be in trouble with his partner and he told officers in hospital ‘I shouldn’t have taken my girlfriend’s car, she will be so mad, tell her I’m sorry.”

Sheriff James Spy disqualified the cladding worker for 12 months as well as the fine.
