Barry Smith, from Dunfermline, was acting as a support driver for a convoy of Satans Slaves as they drove their bikes in the Scottish Borders. He rammed his van into a man's bike after a fight broke out between members of Satans Slaves and Tribe Motorcycle Club.
The court heard that after striking Mr Lamb, Smith didn't contact emergency services and drove away from the scene.He was spotted a short distance from the scene by a member of the Tribe.
He told the motorcyclist to stop in an aggressive manner, but the biker drove away in fear he would be assaulted.He said:"For me as an ex-military man, it kept the brotherhood going."Defence advocate John Brannigan told judge Tait that his client still maintained he was innocent of any wrongdoing. The lawyer said Smith had spoken to a court-appointed social worker about how he had joined the gang for the"camaraderie".
He said Smith didn't have a formal diagnosis but had experienced"symptoms" of post-traumatic stress disorder .He added:"There are a number of protective factors. He comes from a supportive family, has a good work record and apart from his membership of the motorcycle gang has lived a pro-social life."She also endorsed his driving licence with 10 penalty points.
