A man caught dangerously driving by police and told he was extremely lucky not to get a prison term then did “exactly the same thing” again. James Norville was serving a suspended sentence for dangerous driving and driving while uninsured when he was spotted behind the wheel in Ystrad Mynach last month.
After officers spotted his uninsured Seat Leon, they turned on the blue lights and signalled for him to move over. However, the 23-year-old had other ideas - and he dangerously overtook cars and ran a red light, Cardiff Crown Court heard.
Prosecuting counsel Hannah Friedman told the court how Gwent Police officer PC James realised the vehicle was uninsured when it passed him on the A472 at Ystrad Mynach last month at 2.25pm on April 9. PC James turned his blue lights on and repeatedly requested Norville stop driving, but the defendant failed to stop.
