Man Lectures Cops on Safety After High-Speed Chase

0:00On April 3rd, a 42-year-old man named Stephen Ball led police on a wild chase through a neighborhood in Kurtby and Ashfield after they spotted, him driving without insurance around 10 a.m. on Tuesday, January 20th. He ignored orders to pull over and hit speeds over 70 miles per hour on residential streets, mounting curves and grass before his old Toyota got. Stuffed between a park car and a lamppost after nearly colliding with a bin truck. Officers were stunned when Ball, right after being pulled from the wreck, started lecturing them on safety, saying pursuits should stop in crowded. Areas because they're too risky and even blamed the cops for pushing them into it. Ball has a history of drug and driving offences, and he was already on a suspended sentence, which he claimed kept him from stopping. He refused an interview, but later pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, failing to stop, driving while this qualified, no insurance and a public order and nodding him crown court on March 18th. He got 25 months in jail and a driving ban for three

1:01years and 11 months with police, praising their training for safely ending the pursuit and stressing how Ball endangered everyone on the road that day.
