A drug driver who sped the wrong way on one of the UK's busiest roads before pulling a dangerous handbrake turn has been jailed. Thomas Garfitt, 29, was captured in hair-raising footage pulling off the dangerous manoeuvre on the A1
In the footage he is seen reaching speeds of 125mph during a 27-minute police chase. He's captured driving through red lights and narrowly avoiding a crash as he weaves in and out of traffic and cuts up motorists at roundabouts at high speed.
In footage taken by a police helicopter, he speeds up the hard shoulder into oncoming traffic on the A1 in South Yorkshire. A radio handler audibly gaps as he suddenly pulls the U-turn onto the main carriageway, narrowly missing traffic coming the opposite way.
