Nawaz Hassan was high on cocaine when police officers spotted him driving erratically just after midnight on September 18 last year.

He ignored the blue lights and led chasing officers on a high speed pursuit through Bearwood, Smethwick, Oldbury and Halesowen.

Wolverhampton Crown Court was shown ten minutes of the pursuit from the chasing police car's camera.

Hassan can be seen hitting speeds of over 70mph in residential streets and driving the wrong way down Bearwood High Street.
