The accident was caused by 26-year-old Aaron Gover, of Sherbrooke Road, Rosyth, who has now been sentenced at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.
He admitted that on August 10 on the B996 northbound, near Kelty, he caused serious injury to a motorcyclist by driving a car dangerously and at excessive speed.
He entered the opposing carriageway to perform an overtaking manoeuvre when it was unsafe to do so. He caused other road users to take evasive action to avoid a collision.
He caused a motorcyclist to take evasive action, whereby he applied his brakes, attempted to swerve into the opposing junction, struck a grass verge, entered the air, flipped his motorbike over and struck the ground.
Depute fiscal Amy Robertson said the incident took place at 4.20pm on a Saturday afternoon.
Three motorcyclists were out on a ride together with the injured man at the front.
A driver coming in the opposite direction saw a car coming up behind him at excessive speed then trying to overtake.
He went into the opposing carriageway into the path of the biking group.
The motorcyclist at the front of the group, swerved to avoid being struck, hit a verge and was thrown from his bike.
He sustained a broken arm, cuts and swelling and was treated at Victoria Hospital.
Gover failed to stop following the incident and was later traced by police.
Defence solicitor Aime Allan said her client was “ashamed” by his behaviour. He had “misjudged” his driving and then “panicked” after the accident.
The court heard Gover is already banned from driving for another offence.
Sheriff Susan Duff imposed a community payback order with 200 hours of unpaid work and a year’s supervision.
Gover was also banned from driving for five years and until he re-sits and passes a new test.
