A 23-YEAR-OLD driver was involved in the ‘slowest pursuit ever’ over the weekend after police chased the man at a ‘dizzying speed’ of 20 miles per hour.
Thames Valley Police officers arrested the Bracknell man after receiving a report from a member of the public about a possible drink driver.
A social media post from the force read: “After reports from a member of the public of a possible drink driver, the chap behind the wheel decided not to stop when the bright blue flashing lights and siren were put on behind him.
