Courts up and down the country get their fair share of dangerous drivers in the dock. From those who speed to those who get behind the wheel after drinking terrifying amounts of booze.
It often results in dangerous police pursuits, horrific crashes and, sadly, tragic deaths.
Whilst those in the driver's seat usually accept blame, there are others who do everything they can to avoid responsibility.

These are just some of the reckless drivers who thought they were above the law - but were caught and hauled before our regions courts.
This is the 'show off' drink driver who ploughed into an innocent motorcyclist, causing him to be thrown from his bike and sustain fatal injuries.
Callum Carew, 34, was driving in his white BMW M2 along the A534 in Crewe at around 11.15pm on March 31, hitting speeds of around 140mph in a 60mph zone.
Moments later, he ploughed into the back of a blue Direct Bikes Scooter, which was being ridden by 29-year-old Razvan Brumar. The impact of the collision caused him to be thrown from his bike and suffer catastrophic injuries.
Emergency services raced to the scene, where Razvan was treated by paramedics before being rushed to hospital. He later passed away as a result of his injuries.
Carew then callously tried to blame his victim when questioned by police, claiming the bike had no lights. He also told officers he had only had one pint before he failed a breath test and was arrested.
Carew, of Rochester Crescent, in Crewe, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving while over the drink-drive limit. He was sentenced at Chester Crown Court on Monday (May 13) to nine years and four months
