Jaiden Martin, 18, and another unknown rider were spotted on scrambler bikes by the passing police car in Stockport before they drove onto a footpath to avoid them.

As a result, the officers followed them as they rode up Manchester Road towards Longsight, going through a number of red lights at double the speed limit, Manchester Crown Court heard.

In dashcam footage played to the court of the incident on May 30 this year, the bikes drove at speeds of 60mph, through red traffic lights, on the wrong side of the road and narrowly avoiding collisions with other vehicles.
