The order came after Sartauskas performed vehicle stunts, including a wheel spin and doughnuts, in Lockfield Avenue, Brimsdown, on Saturday, 1 August.
Sartauskas, of Alveston Avenue in Harrow, also admitted to removing his vehicle's registration plates before undertaking the prohibited manoeuvres. He was driving a white BMW at the time of the incident. Police officers monitoring the area witnessed the dangerous driving and subsequently arrested the driver.
Court ruling and penalties
On Tuesday, 25 August, a High Court judge ruled Sartauskas in contempt of court. He was issued a £750 fine and ordered to cover Enfield Council's legal costs, amounting to £8,484.40. These costs are to be paid in monthly instalments of £500. The total sum Sartauskas must pay is £9,234.40.
Warning posters detailing the injunction and its penalties were installed at Lockfield Avenue on the same day as the incident. The council's injunction against car meets and other forms of dangerous driving was first introduced almost two years ago and was renewed in December 2025 for a further twelve months.
Council's stance on car cruising
Enfield Council leader Alessandro Georgiou stated that car cruising blights neighbourhoods, disrupts residents, and endangers the public. He emphasised that those who treat roads as racetracks show disregard for others' safety and that the council will not tolerate such behaviour. The council plans to continue collaborating with the Metropolitan Police to enforce the injunction and take action against offenders.
The injunction explicitly prohibits racing, dangerous driving, vehicle stunts, excessive revving, and any behaviour that causes nuisance, alarm, or distress. Lockfield Avenue, located within the Brimsdown Business Area, has been a site of repeated reports concerning antisocial driving, vehicle nuisance, and illegal racing.
