I wasn't driving officer... it was actually my dog

Then they saw his black Honda Prelude being driven from a car park and along Chester Road towards Queensferry.

It went about 150 yards before swerving erratically, coming to a stop on the wrong side of the road.

As officers arrived, they saw Taylor talking to the owner of the car.

But when he saw them, he jumped over to the passenger seat.

Police said Taylor smelled heavily of alcohol, his head was slumping forwards and he appeared to be drunk.

Once arrested, he began shouting and said: "The dog was driving."

When he was arrested, he was restrained and handcuffed, but Taylor threatened to punch an officer.

Later he admitted he was driving, but only for about two yards.

At the police station, he was too drunk to be charged and was placed in a cell to sober up until the following morning.

Peter Barnett, defending, said his client was very remorseful.

Taylor was desperately trying to pick up the pieces of his relationship with his partner and children, and at the time was suffering anxiety and depression following the death of his best friend.
