 
                            A dangerous driver will be sentenced in March after crashing into another motorist during an attempt to undertake her.
29-year-old Karl Benson, of Copse Hill in Douglas, carried out the manoeuvre on the dual carriageway outside Ronaldsway Airport on December 11th last year.
 
His white Audi hit the side of her Ford Fiesta at around 8.45pm - Benson failed to stop, instead speeding off towards Castletown. 
When police stopped him a short time later his passenger told officers his driving had been "stupid and dangerous" and she'd "feared for her safety".
The car was later tested at the Vehicle Testing Centre where it was found to have a defective tyre, impaired windscreen and a number of warning lights active.
At Douglas Courthouse last week Benson admitted driving dangerously, having no licence, insurance or tax, failing to stop and report the incident and driving a defective vehicle.
Social enquiry reports have been requested before he's sentenced on March 9th - he's been bailed in the meantime.
