Watch this reckless driver pull a man in a wheelchair behind his car
The motorist has been banned for 20 months and ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid work.
A 20-year-old motorist has been banned from driving after being caught on CCTV pulling a man along a road in a wheelchair behind his car, police have said.
Ward was banned from driving for 20 months, ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid work, fined £85 costs and told to pay an £85 victim surcharge.
MacPherson was fined £154 and ordered to pay £30 costs and £30 victim surcharge after he pleaded guilty to holding on to a vehicle for the purpose of being drawn.
Traffic Constable Rob Roberts, of Harrogate’s road policing team, said: “Ward and MacPherson acted selfishly that night.
“They paid no regard to the safety of other road users or pedestrians and chose to act in a dangerous manner.
“I hope the sentence that has been handed to them teaches a lesson to both them, and others, that reckless behaviour will not be tolerated on our roads.”
