The relatives of two of the victims of the Glasgow bin lorry crash have dropped their calls for an adjournment at the fatal accident inquiry (FAI).
They still intend to seek a private prosecution against the driver Harry Clarke, possibly for dangerous driving, but now want the inquiry to proceed to its conclusion.
It means Clarke will be advised not to answer questions which could incriminate him.
The inquiry at Glasgow Sheriff Court, has heard that Clarke was unconscious at the wheel of the council bin lorry when it killed six people and injured 15 others, on December 22, last year.
It also emerged at the inquiry that he had a history of dizzy spells and fainting which he had not disclosed to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) or on job application forms and health assessments for Glasgow City Council.
This included a blackout at the wheel of a stationary bus in April, 2010, when he was employed as a driver by First Bus.
The Crown Office in Scotland and the DVLA have decided that Clarke should not be prosecuted.
Clarke is the only witness remaining to give evidence to the inquiry.
The inquiry continues.
