Jake Gill had “complete disregard” for other road users and drove in a “reckless” way, said Jillian Newton, prosecuting.
Police caught up with the 21-year-old, of Curson Terrace, Cliffe near Selby, on the night of Thursday, March 6 when he was driving a BMW on the A19 near Escrick at speeds exceeding 100mph.
Officers deployed a stinger which punctured all four of the car’s tires.
But Gill continued to drive the car at 80mph, York Crown Court heard
Police described the vehicle as “fish tailing” as Gill lost control of its rear end.
“You are a risk of danger to the public,” Judge Simon Hickey told Gill.
Gill pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving without a license and driving without insurance.
He was jailed for one year and banned from driving for 18 months on Friday (April 17).
The court heard that the pursuit lasted around 15 minutes.
Officers first saw the uninsured BMW driven by Gill and carrying two passengers in Selby town centre at 10pm.
The court heard that Gill later accelerated away from police and made off towards the Selby Toll Bridge when officers turned on their blue lights.
“You should have stopped,” the judge told Gill.
Gill proceeded to drive at speeds of up to 70mph through 30mph residential streets, overtaking vehicles and negotiating parked cars, said Ms Newton.
He then joined the A19 heading north and travelled at speeds exceeding 100mph, the prosecuting barrister told the court.
She added: “This is a deliberate action to ignore the rules of the road.”
At 10.40pm, police caught up with Gill on the A19 near Escrick and deployed the stinger.
He was arrested at 10.53pm but initially resisted arrest and had to be “sprayed”, the court heard.
Police chase happened when driver was serving suspended prison sentence
Judge Hickey said the offences happened when Gill was serving a suspended prison sentence after admitting to carrying a knife in the Club Atomic, Selby, in June 2021.
The judge had handed Gill the 12-month sentence suspended for 18 months with 120 hours of unpaid work in 2021.
“I should have locked you up then and there,” he told Gill.
For Gill, James Holding said he had moved out of his family home and was living with a friend.
He lost his job because he was unable to pay for a professional course he needed for his work.
Gill later declared himself homeless and had been housed at a hotel, the defence barrister said.
“That’s probably what caused this, living in a hotel,” the judge said.
Mr Holding said Gill showed “genuine remorse” for his actions and was young and immature.
He added that the roads were not busy and there were no pedestrians present when Gill’s offences took place.
