Teen Driver Throws Object at Police Van | Sheffield News

A 20-year-old driver in Halifax, Joshua Boocock, went berserk—speeding 62 in a 30 zone, circling a police van, and even hurling a metal bar at it before flipping his Kia. He escaped by grabbing his dog and fleeing, later claiming the car was stolen—but witnesses saw him driving like a maniac. He admitted to dangerous driving and trying to game the system. Instead of jail, he got a 19-month suspended sentence (18 months active), 20 days of rehab, 150 hours of community service, an 18-month driving ban, and a mandatory extended driving test—and he’s on the hook for £600 in costs. A wild, cautionary tale. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
