Moment drink driver tore through streets on wrong side of the road

Dramatic police dash camera footage has been released of the moment a drink driver led officers on a high-speed chase. The clip shows Jason Gordon in a Seat car on January 9 at about 9pm speeding along streets and driving on the wrong side of the road at one stage.

The terrifying pursuit began along a main road near Kimberley - after Gordon overtook officers in their unmarked vehicle at nearly 100mph. Gordon was estimated to be travelling at 98mph, in a 50mph zone, after patrolling officers spotted him overtake at that speed along the A610, near to the junction of the M1.

Nottingham Crown Court heard on Tuesday (December 20) unlicenced driver Gordon, who was more than two times the legal drink drive limit, went around a bollard, and drove on the wrong side of the road, before slowing down for a gritter lorry.
