A 19-year-old was sentenced for dangerous driving after leading police on a 90mph chase through Halifax causing £10,000 damage.
Adam Tanveer, 19, was sentenced at Bradford Crown Court on 8 October after admitting dangerous driving and driving without insurance following a high-speed police pursuit through Halifax.
Tanveer was driving a white Audi Q2 along Pellon Lane when he encountered a marked police vehicle. The car was not insured for him to drive. Rather than stopping, he accelerated away, prompting officers to pursue him through the streets at speeds reaching 90mph.
During the chase, Tanveer drove through Shibden Park, forcing two pedestrians to jump clear to avoid being hit. He then collided with a single-decker bus, tearing off its bumper, before striking a van and another Audi containing a man and his daughter. Despite the collisions, nobody was injured. West Yorkshire Police said the total damage exceeded £10,000.
Tanveer's barrister said his client deeply regretted his actions and had made an immature mistake. He received a 13-month detention sentence in a young offenders' institution, suspended for 18 months, was ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid work and was banned from driving for two years.
