Hide AdScott, 29, was arrested in August last year after an off-duty officer witnessed him drive his car into a wall in Four Lane Ends, Oxspring, Barnsley, making no attempt to stop or brake.
Analysis of the car afterwards estimated that Scott was travelling at around 92mph when the car hit the wall, with the brakes only being applied after the collision.
