The worker stepped in front of the car to stop him moving forward and Slater pushed the car up against his knees
He has 32 convictions for 60 offences, including aggravated vehicle taking, dangerous driving and three dwelling burglaries.
Mitigating, Martin Morrow told the court that his only real defence was his early guilty pleas to causing serious injury through dangerous driving and having no licence or insurance. He said that Slater had been hooked on drugs at the time, and added:"He developed a rather hedonistic lifestyle with little or no regard for others."
Judge Neil Clark jailed him for three years and four months, and gave him a new driving ban for three years and eight months. He said: “It’s quite clear you were trying to shake him off. I realise you were misusing drugs and were essentially stealing the fuel to sell it on.”
