A pharmacist's 'aggressive, ignorant, stupid, and dangerous' motorway driving left a family fearing for their lives. Amar Manzoor, 39, repeatedly slammed on the brakes of his BMW as he tried to weave around traffic causing another motorist to crash. But he then accused others of concocting a story 'to make him look bad'.
At the time he was driving in rush hour darkness on the M6, heading home to Bolton from a shift as a locum in Carlisle. Behind the wheel of a BMW 325, Manzoor sped down the motorway southbound at around 6.45pm on October 29 last year, close to Junction 36.
“Driving at speed and flashing his headlights, essentially to push his way through traffic,” prosecutor Andrew Evans explained at Carlisle Crown Court on Friday. Some other motorists pulled out of the way before Manzoor found himself behind a BMW X5 driven by Simon Prestwich and his family.
