Scott Revel was only a month into a suspended sentence at the time of the offence
A driver has been jailed after the lorry he was operating on false plates was stopped on the M1 near Nottinghamshire following a police chase. In an attempt to escape officers, Scott Revel proceeded to get out of the vehicle on the busy road, jump over the central reservation and run across four lanes of traffic.
“There was something protruding from the van you were driving, you were swaying from side-to-side and you then abandoned the vehicle not in the first lane, not on the hard shoulder, but in the outside lane and you then scarpered across the motorway which was an incredibly dangerous manoeuvre. Richardo Childs, prosecuting, said police on patrol on the northbound M1 spotted a lorry being driven by the defendant between junction 28, at South Normanton and the Tibshelf service station at around 4.40am on May 29, this year. He said because what appeared to be tyred were making the curtain-sided HGV bulge, one car decided to follow it and attempt to pull it over.
“He said he did not know the lorry was on false plates.” Revel, of Victoria Street, Allerton Bywater, near Castleford, West Yorkshire, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, driving on false plates and driving without insurance.
