dailyrecord.co.uk:

A racist taxi passenger who got angry that the driver of the cab "was not white" has been spared jail. Craig Bell, 51, asked the driver his name and then "became very abusive" to him as the 30-year-old cabbie was bringing Bell and a woman passenger back to Falkirk from Glasgow.

Prosecutor Robbie McDougall said: "He seems to have become angry at the fact that the driver was not white and asked him what kind of name that was."On arrival at their destination in Glynwed Court, Falkirk, Bell "exited and opened the driver's door".The driver asked Bell what he was doing and shut the door, which, Falkirk Sheriff Court was told, just seemed to make Bell angrier.Bell head-butted the taxi window before walking off into the common close at Glynwed
