Subscriber only A repeat traffic offender with an extraordinary rap sheet has told a court that he thought his girlfriend was in labour when he stole and crashed a car on the Pacific Highway earlier this year. Reiley Jay Amos appeared on screen at Coffs Harbour Local Court on Monday from Clarence Correctional Centre, where he had been remanded since his arrest. The court heard that on January 21 police responded to reports of a car accident on the highway in Coffs Harbour, and became aware that the car involved had been stolen the previous day. A witness at the scene who called Triple 0 said Amos had become aggressive towards them and walked away from the scene.
