Driver sentenced after crash footage surfaces online
He lost control driving in a dangerous manner
A driver has been banned from the roads after videos emerged online showing him attempting dangerous stunts in Berkshire and Hampshire.
Bradley Parsons was filmed trying to drift his BMW around a corner, crashing into a hedge.
The footage also showed Parsons performing risky 'donut' manoeuvres at an illegal car meet, with large crowds gathered dangerously close to the vehicle.
Police became aware on 25th October 2025 of an unauthorised car meet in Arkwright Road, Reading, according to Sergeant James Hall.
The following day, Parsons' BMW was involved in a second dangerous incident at the junction of the A272 and A32 in West Meon.
The video captured Parsons accelerating rapidly at traffic lights, causing violent wheel spin, and attempting to drift before losing control onto the A272.
Sergeant Hall said: "On both occasions his driving was deliberate, reckless, and intended to show off to spectators. The video of him crashing clearly shows that he lost control of the car, which is easily done when attempting to drive in such a dangerous manner."
Parsons was sentenced at Basingstoke Magistrates Court on 11th May for two counts of dangerous driving.
He received a suspended sentence of 12 months imprisonment, disqualified from driving for two years, and will require an extended retest before returning to the roads.
Parsons was also ordered to pay £357 costs and surcharge and must complete 200 hours of unpaid work.
