Incredibly dangerous driving by driver on 'birthday joyride'

Dramatic dashcam footage shows a banned driver racing away from police through residential streets at 90mph - during a birthday joyride with his friends.
Oncoming traffic can be seen swerving out of the way to avoid a head-on collision as Tony Berrill ran red lights, performed dangerous overtaking manoeuvres and drove the way round a mini-roundabout.
Berrill's driving was so dangerous officers had to abandon their pursuit as he could have caused a serious collision.
The 24-year-old ditched his car in Wyken, West Midlands but he was tracked by a police helicopter and officers arrested him in a nearby road.
At Coventry Crown Court yesterday, Berrill was jailed for 12 months and banned from the roads for three-and-a-half years.
Speaking afterwards, a spokesman from West Midlands Police said: 'Tony Berrill topped 90mph, ran red lights and performed dangerous overtaking manoeuvres as he careered through Coventry streets in a Seat Leon on October 5 last year.
At one stage patrol officers were forced to abandon their pursuit for fear the 24-year-old's driving could cause a serious collision.
However Berrill's movements were monitored by a police helicopter and, when he ditched the car in Tiverton Road and fled, an air observer directed officers on the ground to make an arrest in Sewall Highway.
In police interview he claimed to have been a rear seat passenger – but later admitted dangerous driving and driving while disqualified as the evidence against him stacked up.
Berrill will also be required to take an extended re-test to get his licence back.
