A 103MPH drink-driver who led police on a 14-mile pursuit from Chester city centre to Sandiway has been spared jail. Matthew Oliver York, 23, previously pleaded guilty at the first opportunity to dangerous driving and drink-driving when he appeared at Chester Magistrates Court on Tuesday, January 5. Appearing at Chester Crown Court for sentencing on Tuesday, February 2, York, of Church Street, Davenham, Northwich, was told by Judge Anna Vigars he had jeopardised not only his life but that of the police officers in pursuit that night. Prosecuting, Philip Clemo said York – driving a Mercedes with a personalised number plate – reached speeds of 100mph three times during the pursuit, but bizarrely also slowed down for two roadside speed cameras.
