Driver admits 120mph chase on A406 while disqualified

Ibrahim Zidane, 20, has pleaded guilty to dangerous driving after reaching speeds of 120mph during a police chase on the A406. Officers spotted Zidane failing to give way at a roundabout in Rainham on October 26. He then failed to stop for police, driving through red lights and reaching high speeds.

The pursuit continued onto the A12 before police used tactical contact to stop Zidane's vehicle on the A406 between Beckton and Barking. Zidane was arrested without injury. Officers found balloons and nitrous oxide canisters inside the car. He also failed a roadside drug test for cannabis.

At the time of the incident, Zidane, of The Glen in Rainham, was already disqualified from driving. He appeared at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on October 27 and admitted to the charges. He remains in custody awaiting sentencing at Snaresbrook Crown Court.
