A single mum has narrowly avoided jail after leading police on a 90mph chase and speeding through a town with two young children in the back of her BMW. Tegan Bulley overtook an unmarked police car before racing off at 90mph, bombing through red lights and accelerating up the wrong side of the road as officers gave chase.
Careering through residential streets, she hit 70mph over speed bumps and nearly lost control before police had to slow down and lost her. Neither of her children were secured in child seats during the 'appalling' incident', a court heard. When the 29 year old was eventually tracked down, she gave a false name to officers and claimed her white BMW 3 series had been stolen, before later pleading guilty to one charge of dangerous driving.
Bulley wept as she avoided an immediate prison sentence at Southampton Crown Court, Hants. Judge Brian Forster QC handed her an eight month sentence but suspended it for 15 months, before disqualifying her from driving for a year.
