South Yorkshire Police have released some dashcam footage of a pursuit in January 2021 after officers attempted to stop a male concerning an allegation of threats to kill a police officer.
Specially trained Roads Policing Unit officers attempted to stop 22-year-old Mitchell Kemp, of Victoria Road, Rotherham, on the M18 motorway.
But Kemp floored it and led officers on a pursuit. At one point during the pursuit, Kemp undertook lorries via the hard shoulder at speeds of 125 mph.
However, it was not long before Kemp, with the assistance of the National Police Air Service, was caught.

10 months inside is not enough. He should have been locked up for a year for having cannabis in his system because cannabis is illegal. He should then have further been locked up for at least a year for his driving and his ban should start when he is released.
Any driving ban should be a suspended sentence. If you are caught driving while banned, you serve the remainder of your ban inside plus the subsequent ban, which would be twice as long as the preceding one. Assuming he is caught driving after 5 months, which would be two years after conviction, he would go to jail for the remaining two years plus a minimum four year 10 month ban, also served inside.
The rationale is that the convict is trusted to serve his sentence within the community. If he abuses that trust, and it is entirely his choice so to do, then he forfeits any future trust for the original and linked offence.
People will either stop playing silly buggers in cars or will be kept safely away from the public. It is their choice. Either way, I do not care because the outcome is safer roads for the public and we must start measuring outcomes, not inputs.
