Yesterday, the Passat driver Shaheib Mohammed, 24, was jailed for two years and eight months[4] after Bradford[5] Crown Court heard that his passenger that night suffered a catalogue of serious injuries including a bleed on the brain and a ripped aorta.

Judge Colin Burn was told that the injured man, who was described as Mohammed’s best friend, had declined to cooperate with the police investigation and did not want to see him sent to prison.

But Mohammed, of Clay Pits Lane, Pellon, Halifax, pleaded guilty to a charge of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and Judge Burn said his actions had been “lethally dangerous”.
