Investigating officer PC Edward Walsh said: \u201cTaylor Stacey had a flagrant disregard for public safety that night, including attempting to carry out a drift manoeuvre on a roundabout, which directly led to the collision in which a young woman suffered extremely serious injuries.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo carry out the drifting manoeuvre, Stacey deliberately placed the car into sports plus mode which reduced the traction control system.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur thoughts and best wishes are with the victim, who suffered some horrible injuries from which she\u2019s still recovering.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis case is a powerful reminder that while these meets can be a celebration for car enthusiasts, public safety must never be compromised.<\/p>\n
