A Lamborghini driver who struck another vehicle while using a public road ‘like a racecourse’ has been prohibited from operating a vehicle on public highways.
As reported by Cambridgeshire Police, Gull Khan, the driver of the rental sports car, was weaving in and out of traffic when he crashed into the rear of a Seat Leon in Peterborough.
After the collision on the A15 Bourges Boulevard on March 15, 2017, the driver of the Seat Leon received medical attention for a cracked nose, concussion, and other wounds and grazes.
Analysis of dashcam footage estimated 32-year-old Khan was driving at speeds of at least 75mph – almost double the 40mph limit – when the collision happened.
Khan, of Silverwood Road, Peterborough, admitted at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court to dangerous driving and having no insurance, Cambridgeshire Police said.
The force said he was sentenced at the same court on Friday to 10 weeks in prison, suspended for a year.
He was also disqualified from driving for 20 months and ordered to complete an extended re-test and 120 hours of unpaid work.
Pc Pete Smith, of Cambridgeshire Police, said: ‘Khan seemed determined to use the roads like a racetrack as he drove well in excess of the speed limit and weaved in and out of traffic.
‘He showed a complete disregard for the laws of the road and other people’s safety.
‘I’m pleased he has now appeared in court and been sentenced for his actions.’
