I will post a screenshot of the Mail on Sunday article when I have worked out how to do it as I am a total technophobe
Anyway it involved being chased for around 5 miles by an unmarked police car. I was flat out on my old Norton Commando Fastback being followed by a metallic green MG Maestro- Through red lights, over roundabouts with the car only about 10 feet behind me-the adrenaline was pumping-it felt like a scene from the sweeney
Got to a roundabout and decided to take the last exit. Leant the bike so far over I lost a footrest!! Glancing over my shoulder, I saw the police car going sideways, loose control, crash through a fence and hit a wall. Disaster struck and I ran out of petrol
Then Police everywhere-jumped on me, handcuffed and, because the car was smashed up the back door would not open, so i was taken to the police station in a van. I saw a solicitor and explained that I had no Idea it was the police chasing me even though it had blue lights and siren. Three magistrate court appearances followed and then committed to crown court. I will never forget the experience-my bum was twitching like a rabbits nose. The police maintained that they did not crash and I insisted they did. The Jury was asked to examine the car and it had two new doors and a re-spray. The new paint was so obvious as they failed to match the original colour and you could see where it was masked off. They lost their persuit licenses and the case was thrown out of court
