Moped rider's trip to Bristol Morrisons ends in arrest after low-speed chase

A low speed police chase in Bristol resulted in the arrest of a moped rider. Unlike many other cases involving mayhem on the road, Aaron Lynch was suspected of exceeding 20mph through a 20mph zone, Bristol Crown Crown Court heard.

Father-of-two Lynch, 25, of Billand Close in Bishopsworth, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and without insurance in February. He appeared for sentence at Bristol Crown Court today (July 25, 2022).

The recorder Mr David Chidgey jailed him for eight months, which should ensure his immediate release after time spent on remand. The recorder told him: "You drove away from police on the moped, you mounted kerbs, exceeded the speed limit and put people at some risk."
