A disabled driver, close to three times the legal drink-drive limit, killed a family returning home from a Scottish country dance night in Arbroath, the High Court in Dundee was told today.
Alistair Ferrier (30), St Thomas Crescent, Arbroath, admitted causing the deaths in a crash by driving dangerously.
Retired HGV driver John Gibson (69) and his wife Isobella (68), Teviot Place, Montrose, were killed and their lifelong friend Gertrude Massie (71), also from Montrose, was critically injured in the accident on December 14, 2008.
Temporary judge Edward Bowen QC told Ferrier he was required by law to get background reports but added he should be in no doubt he would be jailed.
He deferred sentence to November 24 at the High Court in Edinburgh and remanded Ferrier in custody.
