The 21-year-old performed a series of “erratic” manoeuvres as he tried to escape officers
Foley went the wrong way around two roundabouts, mounted pavements, drove on grassland and performed a handbrake turn into oncoming traffic.
Foley drove on the wrong side of the road on at least two occasions, including on the A58 - which was packed with rush-hour traffic.He was soon caught by police and told them: “I’m done. You’ve got me, I’m the driver.” Craig Sutcliffe, mitigating, said the offence was an “enormous shame” as Foley had stayed out of trouble and gone to college since he was last released from custody in November 2020.
Passing his sentencing remarks, he added: “We’ve had some death cases recently of people going the wrong way down the carriageway.
