Video footage has been released of a "reckless" learner driver who travelled at over double the national speed limit as he tried to outrun police.

24 year old Thomas Allsopp's Audi A8 was clocked hitting 149mph on the M6 Toll. He only had a provisional driving licence and was uninsured. At one stage he overtook a recovery truck on a blind bridge entering Minworth village. Allsopp showed no remorse and said he had no intention of stopping for officers - only stopping because he ran out of fuel - and agreed he didn't give his three passengers any opportunity to exit his vehicle (LINK).

 

He was given a suspended sentence and banned from driving for 18 months which is bound to cause him considerable inconvenience.

 

His car should be crushed - but his three passengers need not be on board at the time.

Not the cars fault, it didnt know he wasnt insured... - he should be crushed.

Modern cars, no intelligence at all . . .

 

" He was also ordered to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work and banned from driving for 18 months.He was given an eight-month jail sentence, suspended for 12 months"

 

Banned from driving for 18 months when he hasn't got a license and a suspended sentence, WOW What a punishment, I bet he is really upset about that

Sometimes I wonder if I'm a bad person.  Whenever I see these police camera action shows where a driver runs from the police I hope they slam into something very solid at high speed - back of a lorry or preferably a wall...

 

Another deserving special snowflake here

You just hope they don't hurt anyone else when they write themselves off.

I feel sorry for the Ambulance and Fire Crews who have to cut their sorry a**es out of the wreck

And the cop following them, because no matter how safe he was driving, no matter how far back he was, it was his fault for having the cheek to try and stop them, and therefore his sorry backside will be hung out to dry whilst the investigation into his manner of driving drags on......
