Driver Banned For Eighty Years After Police Chase Ending In Crash

A student has been banned from the UK's roads for 80 years after leading police on a dramatic chase - with a car full of passengers.

Mohammed Ahson, 20, was hit with the huge ban - thought to be one of the longest ever imposed - following the pursuit in February this year.

He was considered a threat to others after the vehicle sped around a corner and ploughed into a marble bench outside Salford University in Greater Manchester.

Astonishing footage shows the car careering round the corner - with police hot on its trail - before the horror smash in the early hours of the morning.

The blue lights of the police cars then make their way round the corner as smoke billows from the vehicle.

Ahsan, from Coventry, failed to stop for police because there were six people in the car, more than legally allowed, the Coventry Telegraph reports.

He was summoned to court and found guilty on September 1 for dangerous driving at Manchester Magistrates’ Court.

Ahsan was handed a 16-week prison sentence, suspended for a year, fines and disqualified from driving for 80 years.

This means he will most likely never drive again in his lifetime.

PC Matt Picton of Greater Manchester Police, said: “This driver panicked after having too many passengers in his vehicle.
