Drink driver who tried to flee police in Doncaster slapped with lengthy driving ban

Police stopped the driver of the van in Intake last Friday and yesterday he appeared before Doncaster Magistrates Court.

A spokesman for Doncaster Central Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “He pleaded guilty to drink driving, driving with no insurance and failing to stop.

“He has been given a four year disqualification from driving and fined £400.”

Announcing the driver’s arrest last week, a spokesman said: “He quickly ran out of talent and tried to run from the pursuing officers instead.

“Unfortunately for him his lack of a ability to run was only matched by his lack of ability to drive.

“He has been arrested for various driving offences and the van is being recovered.”
