Kenilworth police chase
- 3 months ago
A 42-year-old man from Medlicott Road in Birmingham has been sentenced to 20 months in prison for dangerous driving.
Tariq Zaman is also required to pay a victims’ surcharge of £156 and has been disqualified from holding a driving licence for 34 months and until an extended competence test has been passed.
On 21 July 2022 at around 11:45pm, following a request to stop by an officer, Zaman pretended to comply before launching his Peugeot 407 Estate at high speeds through Kenilworth.
During nearly ten minutes of a chase through Kenilworth towards Balsall Common, the driver drove on the wrong side of the road at high speeds; swerved to avoid oncoming traffic; and visibly nearly lost control of the vehicle at various points.
At one point, Zaman hit speeds of 68mph in the 30 zone outside of a primary school on Clinton Lane in Kenilworth; at another, he hit 80mph in a 40 on Birmingham Road towards Balsall Common.
