A SERIAL bad driver from Cleckheaton fled police at up to 100 mph before abandoning his car on a railway line in North Yorkshire, York Crown Court heard.
Adam Virr, 34, raced down Commercial Street, Norton, near Malton, at 70mph just before midnight on October 20, Helen Towers, prosecuting, said.
He tried to ram the pursuing police and turned off his headlights, the court heard.
His Vectra was displaying cloned false number plates and he gave a false name when he was finally arrested.
It was the latest in a career of bad driving that has seen him amass 12 convictions for dangerous driving.
