I saw this in The Bolton News. Ashley Buckley, 21, was caught driving dangerously TWICE in less than 12 months. Police saw him behind the wheel of a Citroen Saxo – a car favoured by the Prat Men of our society – while he was disqualified from driving (presumably from the first time).
He flung the car around to face oncoming traffic, drove off, and stopped the car to run away. He had pulled off a similar stunt the previous time by driving through red lights (anyone looking to employ a getaway driver should avoid this guy).
The police didn’t need to chase him, because they knew who he was and just went round to his house later to arrest him (Buckley also seems to have the intellignece favoured by his kind).
His defence lawyer said:
He apologises for his stupidity.
Of course he does. Mind you, it is fortunate this was dealt with by the Crown Court (which jailed him for 10 months). If it had been the Magistrates on Merseyside or in Lancashire he would probably have been awarded damages for the stress the police put him under by spotting him, and sent on holiday somewhere.
As it is, he’ll have to wait a bit before trying for Arrest #3.
