Jailed: Dangerous driver on wrong side of Black County streets at speeds of up to 50mph
A man has been jailed for driving dangerously along the Black Country New Road after failing to pull over for pursuing police.
Manjinder Singh, aged 29, was also banned from the road after clocking up speeds of up to 50mph along 30mph roads in the Ocker Hill area of Tipton; in Wednesbury and in Moxley in Darlaston on May 9.
Wolverhampton Crown Court heard that the defendant was spotted at the wheel of a Ford Fiesta bearing false number plates by officers.
The court heard that Singh, of Wolverhampton, had initially stopped outside a house in the Toll End Road area but when the uniformed officers in an unmarked patrol car pulled up behind, he drove away in a effort to flee.
Sentencing him Judge Carmel Wall said: "Your offending occurred in the middle of the day at about 12.45pm when you would expect many other road users to be in the area.
