He flew over speed bumps at over 60mph
Tom Hollis, the deputy leader of Ashfield District Council, has been found guilty of careless driving after he sped along in his Range Rover Evoque with police in pursuit on his way home from bingo. Once one of the youngest councillors in Britain, Tom Hollis is now facing sentencing over harassing his former neighbours in lockdown and for driving without due care and attention months later in Sutton-in-Ashfield.
The officers followed in their unmarked Volvo. District Judge Grace Leong accepted the evidence of the officers - that their attention was first drawn to the car as this defendant had driven past them at "excessive speed". "It was for that reason that the police turned their car around to follow the defendant," she told the court.
He also stated, when he saw the car, which he said was travelling too fast, it was "bouncing all over the place". She also rejected Hollis' version of events - that he failed to hear the siren from the police car when he began reversing. Hollis, who was playing music, had not deliberately reversed into the police car when he reached Asda.
