Martin Jean Corcoveanu, from Walsall, pleaded guilty to driving dangerously at Cannock Magistrates Court.

The 27-year-old was also given a 12 week sentence suspended for 12 months.

The court heard that two police officers were travelling on a 70mph stretch of the A5 at around 11.20am on the 5th May when a BMW was spotted exceeding the speed limit.

Corcoveanu was found to have been clocking 130mph at some points, as well as going through a red light at a roundabout.

PC Craig Beardsley said:

> “Corcoveanu clearly didn’t care about the danger he was putting himself and others in with his dangerous driving, at speeds of over 130mph.  
>  
> “His actions were reckless and it is a miracle that nobody was seriously hurt or injured.”
