A man jailed for dangerous driving may have his sentence increased after calling the judge an 'absolute helmet'. Levi Cull was sentenced to 14 months in prison after admitting a number of driving offences, and sarcastically thanked the judge as he was taken down.
Cull, 25, of Langshaw Walk, Bolton, was seen by police in a \mercedes and ducked down as he passed before turning into a side street. During a chase, Cull drove at 60mph on the wrong side of the road, ran a red light and drove across a busy junction without stopping before crashing, hitting several cars and ending up upside down in the road.
Cull, who has 10 convictions for 26 offences, admitted dangerous driving, driving without a licence and driving without insurance, reports MEN.
Judge Martin Walsh jailed Cull for 14 months and banned him from driving for three years, to which Cull replied: "Thank you very much you absolute helmet. In a bit mate."
Following the outburst, Judge Walsh indicated that Cull will be brought back before the court for contempt, meaning he could have his sentence added to.
