After driving at over 90 miles an hour around Bucks, a man from High Wycombe has been sentenced.
Aaron Vass was seen driving dangerously twice in May - the second time police managed to catch him.
The 21-year-old from Stonebridge Road has been given a suspended prison sentence, a 24-month driving ban and had his van destroyed.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of dangerous driving and two counts of driving without insurance.
He was sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court on Friday (16/7) to a 12 month suspended prison sentence, ordered to undergo 200 hours of unpaid work, disqualified from driving for 24 months, will be required to take an extended re-test, his van was also seized and destroyed, and he was ordered to pay costs of £50.
Vass’s conviction and sentencing relate to two incidents of dangerous driving.
On 8 May 2021, Vass was spotted driving a silver van at speed on the West Wycombe Road, High Wycombe. Officers pursued Vass, with him putting other road users in danger, travelling at speeds in excess of 90mph. He managed to lose officers on that evening.
On 16 May 2021, Vass was again spotted driving the same vehicle and sought to make off from officers in Aylesbury. Again he drove dangerously with little regard for other road users.
He was stopped on Marsh Lane, Stoke Mandeville with a tactical stop.
Vass was then arrested and charged the same day.
PC Alistair Bennett, of the Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit based at Amersham, said:
“Vass drove recklessly and put other road users at risk.
“What is more astonishing is that he tried to evade police in the first place as his licence had been revoked and had he stopped on the day he would have been dealt with through a ticket.
“His dangerous driving has led him to being given a suspended sentence and if he offends again he will end up in prison.
“Driving at excess speed puts other motorists at great risk and is one of the fatal four.
“We will always look to catch those driving recklessly and bring them before the courts to face justice.”
