<\/p>\nA shameless 19-year-old driver has been locked up for 12 months after he led police on a 90mph car chase and posted it on his social media.<\/p>\n
Philip Amue was captured on police dashcam footage as he sped through the streets of Wales during the middle of the day.<\/p>\n
The teenager refused to stop for officers before the tyres of his Volkswagen Bora were punctured by a stinger, the court heard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prosecutor Anna Price said Amue posted footage of the police chase on his TikTok account after he was sent it by his solicitors.<\/p>\n
He captioned the video: ‘Bora vs police #video #policechase #UKpolice’<\/p>\n

The teenager, then 19, was captured on police dashcam footage as he sped through the streets of Wales during the middle of the day<\/p>\n
Caernarfon Crown Court heard Amue claim he had driven from from the West Midlands to Anglesey, North Wales, to ‘clear his head’.<\/p>\n
He was first seen entering Anglesey in Wales, on the Menai Suspension Bridge, at roughly 3pm on March 4 before going down an unclassified road.<\/p>\n
He was shortly after approached by police before he reversed and sped off in the direction of where he had just come from, the court heard.<\/p>\n
Miss Price said Amue led police on a chase lasting more than eight minutes while officers reached speeds of 90mph.<\/p>\n
Amue sped through Beaumaris town centre before his tyres were punctured and he was blocked by two police cars and an officer with a Taser.<\/p>\n
After being stopped, officers discovered number plates inside the car, which were registered to his address in Dudley.<\/p>\n
The number plates on the Bora were cloned and did not match his vehicle.<\/p>\n
Amue, of Kingswinford, Dudley, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving without a licence, and driving with false number plates.<\/p>\n

Police rush to the scene of his car and try to prevent him from escaping<\/p>\n
Defending Richard Edwards said Amue, now 20, had a ‘passion’ for cars and likes to buy and modify vehicles but had only passed his theory test.<\/p>\n
Judge Recorder IWL Jones said: ‘You were driving through a busy town centre in the middle of the day. I shudder to think what would have happened if say a young child was crossing the road.<\/p>\n
‘It’s a miracle no-one was seriously injured or killed as a result of your driving. It’s perfectly obvious you have no care for road safety or other road users.’<\/p>\n
Amue was sentenced to 12 months and disqualified from driving for three years and four months.<\/p>\n
