This footage might look like something you’d expect to see on a TV drama, not Lancashire’s roads, right?
This footage is in fact from Lancashire, and the man driving the car we were pursuing in this footage, Talib Khan, has been sentenced.
Let us take you back to the beginning of this story. It was 22nd July, at around 8:45pm when our officers were on patrol on the M65, when they spotted a black BMW 320 speeding on the eastbound carriageway near to junctions three and four. That car was being driven by Khan, with four passengers in.
Khan drove incredibly dangerously, reaching speeds of 151mph and on two separate occasions squeezed his way through traffic on a two-lane section of the motorway at over 100mph.
At junction eight, officers deployed a stinger device, designed to puncture the tyres of the offending vehicle and bring it safely to a stop. Khan tried as he might to continue to drive at speeds more than 100mph on punctured tyres, and later just wheel rims as one of the tyres flew from his car. Once his car couldn’t continue, Khan stopped.
Khan was arrested at the scene, where we discovered that two of his four passengers were minors.
After giving a no comment interview to our officers, Khan, 19 of Victoria Court, Haslingden was charged with failing to stop, dangerous driving, driving without a license and driving without insurance.
He pleaded guilty and appeared at Burnley Crown Court earlier this month, where he was given a 12-month sentence suspended for 20 months as well as being banned from driving for two years and six months, and given 250 hours community service.
