A MAN who reversed his car over his girlfriend was jailed for five years on Monday.
Robert Lovelock, 27, from New Stevenston, who is also known as Robert MacDonald, drove his Vauxhall Corsa over Nicole Allan after she told him he was too drunk to drive.
He admitted pushing Miss Allan to the ground and then reversing over her body to the danger of her life on April 10 at Farm Road, Hamilton.
He was originally charged with attempted murder, but his plea to the lesser offence was accepted by the Crown.
He also admitted striking her step-sister Elizabeth Cavanan on the body with the car.
Judge Sean Murphy QC told Lovelock: “This is your fifth conviction for violence. You present a significant danger to the public.”
Judge Murphy ordered Lovelock to be monitored in the community for three years after his release.
