"The driver of a bin lorry which crashed killing six people has avoided jail.
Harry Clarke admitted culpable and reckless driving on a separate occasion just nine months after the tragedy.
The 60-year-old admitted driving a car in Glasgow on September 20 2015 to the danger of the public despite his licence having been revoked for medical reasons.
Six people died in December 2014 when the refuse lorry lost control in the city centre.
Clarke was sentenced at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday after pleading guilty to the 2015 offence at a hearing last month.
He was given a three-year driving ban, 12-month supervision order and 150 hours’ unpaid work. He will also have to wear an electronic tag."
