His DNA was found on the airbag which showed he had been driving the vehicle at the time of the crash.

Speaking at the case, PC Archer, said: “Ahmed’s reckless driving was appalling.

“He risked his own life as well as the safety of every other road user and resident, and is extremely lucky he did not cause a fatality that night.

“We are determined to catch offenders and to prevent drivers causing harm to themselves and innocent members of the public.

“So we are pleased that a dangerous driver has been taken off our roads.”
