  1. Driving ban for life hopefully and a long stint in prison.

  4. Well that’s a first date that both of them will remember …

  5. She’ll fall hopelessly in love and have 4 children by him. He’ll then cop off with her sister when he gets out.

  7. Cracking “so how did you two meet?” story if nothing else

  8. “Having been granted bail pending his court appearance, the 20-year-old continued to drive on four further occasions.

    The court heard he drove a Hyundai i10 to work at a gym in Newcastle city centre, despite bail conditions ordering him not to.”

    Okay this guy is obviously no good. He’s still got at least 40 years of being a total loss of oxygen to go. Great.

  10. Oh, me lads, yer should have seen us gannin’…

  11. Would be very interesting to see the chopper footage of this one, his solicitor Jack Lovell said this about that crash pictured above:

    >”The defendant knew he should have pulled over immediately,” Mr Lovell said, adding that after getting on the A1 he did eventually slow down, put his indicators on and gestured out of the window with his hand to show he was braking, the court heard.

    >Mr Lovell said helicopter footage shows the BMW was “essentially at a stop” when an unmarked police Volvo, which had earlier reached speeds of 135mph, collided with the back of the car at around 80mph.

    >”From there, there is something of a domino effect, it flips over and then the other police vehicles are also involved,” Mr Lovell said.

    Always fun to watch how things actually are on video when people make statements like these: “essentially at a stop”.
