The driver of the bin lorry that crashed in Glasgow killing six people has admitted culpable and reckless driving in a separate incident.
Harry Clarke, 60, had his licence withdrawn for medical reasons in the months following the bin lorry crash on 22 December 2014.
He pleaded guilty to driving a car nine months later, despite knowing he was unfit to drive.
Clarke was not prosecuted over the bin lorry crash.
At Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday, Clarke admitted driving a car on 20 September 2015 in the knowledge that he had suffered a loss of consciousness while at the wheel of a moving refuse collection vehicle the previous December.
The charge stated he also knew he had suffered a loss of consciousness or episode of altered awareness while at the wheel of a stationary bus on 7 April 2010.
He will be sentenced at a later date.

Can anyone think of a bigger insult to the families and loved ones of those who died and were injured as a result of this guy's actions?
I hope he gets the maximum possible sentence.
