A YOUNG driver who hit speeds of 116mph while test-driving a luxury BMW car in Aberdeen has avoided being locked up.
Dangerous driver Elmer Poon, 24, was warned he almost ended up behind bars after “showing off” while taking a BMW 3 Series for a spin on the A90 Aberdeen to Fraserburgh road, at Tarbothill Farm, Bridge of Don.
Poon, whose address was listed in court papers as 22C Crown Street, Aberdeen, was banned from driving for 15 months and ordered to carry out 240 hours of community service.
