He also admitted injuring Mr Allsup to his permanent impairment and a charge of dangerous driving.The court heard that Mr Fleeman's family had been left "utterly devastated" by the death and that his wife had contemplated suicide.
In a statement read out in court Sandra Fleeman described the day she had to identify her husband's body via a TV monitor as "horrific" and added: "He did not deserve this and neither did we."
Speaking after the hearing, Jennifer Harrower, district procurator fiscal for Hamilton, said: "Paul Lyons used his van as a weapon, it may not have been a knife or a gun but nevertheless it had the same lethal consequences culminating in the death of an innocent man.
"Lyons then fled abroad, desperately attempting to avoid the consequences of his actions.

Lyons rammed Mr Fleeman's van on the M74 in Lanarkshire
"Working with our criminal justice partners and utilising all of the powers within the legislation available we were determined to ensure he did not do so."
The court heard that shopfitter Mr Fleeman was driving from Derbyshire, to work in Dunfermline, along the M74 in the early hours of 4 June last year when Lyons repeatedly tried to crash his own van into him at a speed of more than 70mph.
The vehicles eventually collided, with Mr Fleeman's overturning several times before landing at the side of the carriageway.
Advocate depute Iain McSporran said Mr Fleeman had initially gestured at Lyons because of his erratic driving.
He said: "It appears that the accused's response to this gesture is what led to Mr Fleeman's death."The court was told that Lyons, who was driving home from a night out in Manchester with two friends, had been drinking beer and wine and took valium pills during the trip north.After the crash he sped off towards Gartcosh railway station where he and his friends were picked up by an associate.
Later that morning, Lyons asked a panel beater friend to attend his garage premises. Lyons' van was never seen again.The court heard that one of his passengers, James Tulloch, was arrested days later on an unrelated matter.

He told police he had been in Lyons' van, there had been "a road rage incident" and that "we rammed them".
