Shane Oliver drove the wrong way through junctions, anti-clockwise around a roundabout and narrowly avoided crashes with other vehicles, a pedestrian and a cyclist

"You need to grow up," a judge sternly told a young dad after his "stupid" high-speed police chase ended in chaos.

He then began "garden hopping" in a bid to escape on foot, but was subsequently detained and found to be more than three times the legal limit for cannabis. The dad-of-two also only had a provisional driving licence. "He knows how serious this is. He has known since he crashed into the wall of that pub that this day would come and, for the first time in his life, he would perhaps lose his liberty.

"Shane Oliver is a young man who has struggled for many years with cannabis issues. He is actively working on his cannabis use. "This is maybe the wake up call this young man needs to turn his life around. He was not going anywhere in particular, he decided he wanted to have a go on the car."
