Sheriff Morag McLaughlin said: “This is an utterly tragic case and the consequences utterly devastating for the passenger in your car and yourself as well.”

She added it was “sheer luck” the consequences were not more serious.

She banned McAlpine, whose address was given in court papers as Cromlet Park, Invergordon, from the road for seven years.

He was also handed an eight-month restriction of liberty order and was ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.

With bike licences they limit the power initially - probably a good idea in this case if they ever let him back on the roads ? Presuming he is in a fit state to drive of course...

I know what you mean, but I dont think that that is strictly correct. There are restricted levels, but you can also take a direct access test as far as I am aware (my bike licence predates this).

Just saw some ambiguous social media posts and wondered if he was. Couldn’t find anything on the web.

It's age-banded - once you're over 24 you can do DAS and jump straight on a 200hp bike.
