Uninsured motorist crashed into traffic lights in Peterborough during pursuit with police
An uninsured motorist crashed his car into traffic lights in Peterborough during a pursuit with police.
Police say Philip Kandrac (20) was driving a black Volkswagen Golf in Star Road, Eastgate, at about 1.30am on August 9 when officers instructed him to stop.
A police spokesperson said: “Kandrac accelerated away, narrowly missing other motorists and ignoring a red traffic light.
“He crashed into another set of traffic lights at the junction of Storeys Bar Road and Vicarage Farm Road and was arrested.”
Police say checks revealed Kandrac had a provisional licence and was not insured to drive the vehicle.
He admitted having a small amount of cannabis and failed a roadside drug test. He later refused to provide an additional sample for analysis.
Kandrac, of Westmoreland Gardens, Eastgate, Peterborough, admitted failing to stop, driving without a licence or insurance, failing to provide a specimen for analysis and possession of cannabis.
He was disqualified from driving for 18 months and fined £120 at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court.
