Deputy council boss Tom Hollis was spotted by police driving carelessly on his way home from bingo

A councillor drove at high speed through a 30mph zone before reversing into a police car, a court heard.

The officers made up ground to follow the defendant, with the court hearing the officers were driving at 70mph. Summing up the case, District Judge Grace Leong, said Hollis claimed he was "not in a hurry" and it was a "leisurely drive home". "Mr Hollis, was very lucky not to be prosecuted for dangerous driving, travelling 60 to 70mph in an area which has traffic calming measures," the judge said.
