Police used tactical contact to stop him, averting disaster. Yesterday, he got 38 weeks in jail, a $154 fine, a two-year driving ban, and a grueling retest — all for showing zero regard for lives on the road. Authorities made it clear: reckless driving like this won’t be tolerated. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
