Thomas Smith, 76, hit Adam Pattinson head on as he tried to overtake a van and a truck.

A pensioner has admitted killing a teacher on his daily cycle after carrying out a dangerous overtaking manoeuvre.

The High Court in Edinburgh heard Mr Pattinson, who was a primary teacher at Craigclowan prep school on the outskirts of Perth, was married with a seven-month-old son. Mr Frain-Bell said the victim was affectionately known by pupils as the BFT, shorthand for Big Friendly Teacher. On the morning of his death Mr Pattinson told his wife, Claire, that he was going for his bike ride and she was expecting him home before he went to work.

Smith's vehicle came into contact with the lorry before leaving the road and colliding with a hedge and coming to rest on the grass verge. Mrs Pattinson had become concerned that her husband had not returned home and she called his phone but got no answer.

He probably waited for him. I wish I had a dollar for every time someone passed me in a car while I'm out walking and threatened to run me over. It happens to me at least once or twice a month. Remember, you all let them breed;)

Rip BFT...
