Thumbs up Can anyone ID a black shiney insect?

I am hoping that someone will recognise this strange insect and put my mind at rest.
Black, shiney, 3 segment, legs(?how many), 1/2-2inches long, curled pointed/pincer tail.
Seen running at a fair pace across our tarmac drive towards the lawn.
Could it be a scorpian? That is the only thing I've ever seen that I can liken it to.
Thanks for any help
Amanda
