Impressive pic... just shows how flimsy a caravan is, though...

Or how much energy there is in a 2-3 ton vehicle doing motorway speeds on a residential road...
He was trying to go round a very shallow corner very fast. Would have gone through a living room at that speed. He'd already hit a car or 2 on the way to the caravan!

Good job no one was killed, frankly. NEPN busy with folk cycling in when he was joyriding up and down it.

“Neighbours have said the car was doing about 70mph out of the junction, being chased by the police.”

Monstrous black 4x4 with blacked out windows, racing tyres and large blacked alloy rims, being driven without a care for humanity? I'd mistake it for a Range Rover too.

At least the scrote concerned won't have been able to torch the car and destroy the evidence.

Probably doesn't possess a driving licence anyway, so the court will hand out the usual punishment of banning him from driving for 12 months. Place your bets.

Oh well, he'll get caught pretty quickly then. Always satisfying when criminals are really that stupid.

"I helped by turning the engine off" Aye, what about the wee ned's fingerprints on the key ya numpty?

The defendant spoke only to confirm his name, accept his three month driving ban and have his parking validated.
