West Midlands Police (Traffic) has released some dashcam footage of the moment when a disqualified driver led officers on a late-night high-speed pursuit.
After dropping his passenger off, the driver fancied his chances and floored it.
However, he was soon caught and would end up being sentenced to almost two years behind bars for his actions.
