Ian McFarlane, 76, was aware he had knocked Scott Walker off his bike and caused catastrophic head injuries.
A hit and run driver left a cyclist dying at the side of the road before trying to cover-up the fatal crash by having his damaged car repaired.
Sheriff Gregor Murray warned McFarlane - who was driving an uninsured car - that there was a "distinct possibility" he would be sent to prison. He admitted instructing repair work to conceal the damage caused by ordering replacement parts and having repair work carried out at Arnotts and Arnold Clark garages in Dundee. He admitted not having insurance for his Vauxhall Astra.
One of the witnesses recognised Mr Walker and a piece of plastic was found at the scene which was part of the wing mirror which had been knocked off McFarlane's car. Miss Apostolova told the court that he called her on a number of occasions to ask if there had been further developments but continued to deny any involvement in the death.
