Man to stand trial over double dangerous driving claims in Dundee

Man to stand trial over double dangerous driving claims in Dundee

A 21-year-old man is facing claims that he narrowly avoided causing a collision during two bouts of dangerous driving.

Kyle Reid is alleged to have driven at excessive speeds across the city on separate occasions earlier this month.

It is alleged that Reid also failed to stop and give his details after his car collided with a wall on Clepington Road on Thursday.

Reid appeared from custody at Dundee Sheriff Court and pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.

He is firstly charged with failing to provide his details to police officers on May 13 on Dundonald Street.

This was after Reid allegedly drove through a red light on Muirton Road at the junction with High Street, Lochee.

Thereafter, Reid allegedly drove dangerously on Dudhope Terrace, Inverlaw Place and Albany Terrace by driving at excessive speeds.

Reid, of Sandeman Street, is also accused of driving into the path of another vehicle causing the driver to take evasive action.

During the same incident, Reid is alleged to have driven without a valid policy of insurance. Prosecutors also allege that he failed to stop when requested to do so by police.
