Jonathan Simmonds (in white shirt) outside Oxford Crown Court A drink driver flashed his middle finger at the police officers who were pursuing him through Witney. Jonathan Simmonds, 56, hit speeds of 50 to 60mph in 30 zones, went through red lights and drove on the wrong side of the road during the chase on the evening of May 14, 2021. When he was later interviewed by a probation officer for a pre-sentence report, he was said to have claimed the police ‘fabricated facts around the offending’ and felt he hadn’t driven dangerously. Imposing a two year community order, Recorder Michael Roques said it would have been ‘all too easy’ for Simmonds to have hit another motorist as he jumped red lights – warning him he could have been in the dock for causing death by dangerous driving.
