A drink-driver who reached "wildly excessive speeds" trying to evade police has been jailed for two years.

Abid Miskeen was already banned from driving when he was spotted by officers when he was at the wheel of a powerful Volvo T5 last July.

After a 100mph chase Miskeen was eventually arrested after he crashed his car but was later granted bail by magistrates.

Then in January he was seen in a Peugeot 206 and again sped off trying to escape pursuing officers.

When he was eventually arrested Miskeen was found to be more than three times over the driving limit.

Prosecutor Gavin Howie told Bradford Crown Court that Miskeen, of Cambridge Street, Great Horton, has previous convictions for driving while disqualified and dangerous driving.

When he was seen by officers in the Volvo they activated their blue lights but Miskeen failed to stop. Instead he sped along Great Horton Road at more than 100mph in what is a 30mph zone.

Mr Howie said that he reached "wildly excessive speeds" before entering Laisterdyke Road. Miskeen went over the speed bumps so fast that sparks were seen coming from the underneath of the Volvo before he turned into Canterbury Avenue.

There he lost control and officers tried to block him in but he drove into the side of the police car and got away. But the 25-year-old was caught a short time later when he crashed into a set of railings.

Mr Howie said that he had a 17-year-old female passenger in the car who was six months' pregnant.

Miskeen refused to answer any questions in interview and was given bail - only to be caught back behind the wheel in January.

Again he drove at excessive speeds and performed a handbrake turn as he raced along Thornton Road and Canterbury Avenue in the middle of the afternoon.

The pursuit was so dangerous that officers were about to abandon it because of fears for public safety but was Miskeen was caught on Marsh Street when his tyre burst going over a pavement.

Robin Mairs, mitigating, told the judge that Miskeen was an alcoholic and added that he had found it difficult not being able to see his son while he had been remanded in custody.

Judge Peter Benson banned him from driving for five years and ordered that he takes an extended test in order to get his licence back.

Judge Benson noted that Miskeen has a "dreadful" record for driving offences and he added: "It seems to me that you must be deterred from driving in this way and the public must be protected by a substantial period of custody."
