A motorist who reached speeds of up to 140mph while trying to shake of police has been jailed for 12 months and banned from driving for four years and six months. Cocaine-taking Alistair Smith, of Braddon Avenue, Stapleford, blew a kiss to the public gallery as he was taken from the court in Derby.
The court heard that the uninsured and unlicensed Smith, during an 11-minute chase, jumped multiple red lights and drove on the wrong side of the road in his BMW. He hit speed humps in Derby Road, Stapleford, at 50mph before reaching 84mph in the built-up 30mph limit. Throughout the chase Smith’s mother was sat in the front passenger seat. The incident occurred at 11.30pm on November 10th.
