00:00This footage shows a disqualified driver race at speeds of more than 90 miles per hour as
00:06he attempted to get away. At one point he began to slow with his hazards on before cutting across
00:12a pursuing police car. The driver eventually smashed into a set of traffic lights leaving
00:17his smoking car behind as he ran. He was found in a nearby undergrowth where he was arrested by
00:24Cambridgeshire police officers. The driver failed a roadside alcohol breath test returning a reading
00:30of more than double the limit. Police say he was taken to hospital as a precaution where he
00:35refused to supply a sample of blood for analysis. The driver admitted failing to stop after a road
00:41accident and failing to stop for police. He admitted dangerous driving, driving whilst disqualified and
00:47failing to provide a specimen for analysis and driving without insurance. He was jailed for 15
00:53months in April 2025 at Cambridge Crown Court. PC Mark Draper said the driver's reckless behaviour
00:59could easily have resulted in someone being seriously injured or killed. The officer said
01:04he drove dangerously in a city centre with a complete disregard for the safety of others.
01:09I'm pleased he was apprehended before anyone was hurt and has now appeared in court.
01:23Police officer River Tayser, stay where you are! Police officer River Tayser, stay where you are!
01:49Police officer River Tayser, stay where you are! Stay where you are! Come out now!
01:55Hands up! Come out now! Back to where I am!
02:00Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, no, you're right. You're right, you're right, you're right.
