A father-of-five led police on a high speed chase through Bristol. And there was no apparent reason for doing so, a court heard.
Police attempted to pull over Terence Maughan when they spotted him driving his Ford Mondeo in Brook Road, Whitehall, in December last year. Instead of stopping, Maughan drove off at speed, jumped red traffic lights and went on the wrong side of the road before driving up a dead end and getting arrested.
Maughan, 32, of Wynotham Street in Burnley, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving. Judge Michael Cullum handed him a nine-month jail term suspended for 18 months.
