Mum Shamim Rashid died hours after the crash near Bellshill, while husband Mohammed passed away from his injuries two weeks later.
David Scott, 33, failed to spot Mohammed and Shamim Rashid as they sat in queuing traffic on a slip-road near Bellshill , Lanarkshire.
Shamim, 66, died hours after arriving at hospital while Mohammed, 70, passed away from his injuries two weeks later. Depute fiscal Paula Wedlock told the court motorist Jonathon Bisset felt an 'almighty crash' as the Rashid's vehicle was pushed into his. "David Scott was travelling behind the Rashid's and failed to react to the traffic in front of him and collided with the rear of the BMW driven by Shamim Rashid which collided with the vehicle driven by Mr Bisset."The court was told Scott returned negative tests for alcohol and drugs.
Scullion said Scott had shown a level of remorse he had 'rarely seen' and urged the sheriff to impose a direct alternative to custody for the incident which he claimed had been caused by 'momentary inattention'.
