Banned driver sparked 140mph police pursuit after motoring court hearing

Sgt Paul Cording posted an image of the damaged car after police had brought it to a stop

A motorist who had just been banned from driving left court and jumped into his car before leading police on a 140mph pursuit. The man had been sentenced for drug driving at Harrogate Magistrates' Court before he decided to drive home. He led officers on a pursuit along the A59 and A1 in North Yorkshire on Monday, which only ended when police deployed a stinger to halt him.Sgt Paul Cording, of North Yorkshire Police, described the man's behaviour as "unbelievable".

In a series of tweets, the officer said shocked colleagues pursued the driver who was "weaving dangerously in and out of traffic and using all the lanes including the hard shoulder" at speed over 140mph .3/3 The vehicle then headed towards Leeming where a stinger was deployed by our ARV colleagues before being safely stopped & the driver arrested. A complete disregard for road safety & the judicial system.

Custodial sentence I hope?

Give him another driving ban (since the 1st one worked well!)

Did he cut up Jeremy Vine when turning left?

Should of purchased Dodge's new (novel) Demon 170.
