Warwickshire Police have released some dramatic dashcam footage of the final moments of a 140 mph pursuit that happened last month (Jan 21). 

The driver of the Golf, 34-year-old Roman John Francis, had given police the slip during an earlier pursuit that happened in Rugby. 

Officers placed a marker on the vehicle, and it was not long until Francis was located once again. 

Full story in the video.

    24 months, out in 12. He stole a car, was driving while disqualified, was speeding, driving dangerously, had no insurance and was drunk. 140 mph in the fog constitutes dangerous driving in anybody’s book.

    Assuming this was a first theft offence, somewhat unlikely, he should have got 2 years for theft, the remainder of his current ban plus a doubling of said ban, served inside, So he would probably be looking at a good couple of years for the first ban and its extension, plus 4 years for drunk driving and 8 for dangerous driving, each sentence doubling up on the last. He should also have been considered for permanent loss of licence.

    He would be in his 50s when released and is unlikely to misbehave again, but if he did, then he would be straight back inside with double his last set of sentences, namely 28 years.

    The cost would be formidable, although he could work for his board and lodging by peddling an exercise bike 8 hours a day hooked up to the national grid. Alternatively, bring back the old treadmill and hook that up to the national grid.
