A driver from Norwich who crashed into traffic lights after driving on the wrong side of the road has been disqualified.
Luke Roberts, 41, was at the wheel of a BMW when he attempted to flee from police in Cambridge.
Officers on patrol in an unmarked car on November 27 last year spotted the car driving the wrong way down a street.
The vehicle made off but shortly after crashed into a set of traffic lights.

Roberts, of Beverley Road, Norwich, ran from the vehicle when police arrived. He was arrested after a chase but then refused to provide a sample of breath.
He was disqualified from driving for a year at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court after pleading guilty to failing to provide a specimen of breath for analysis.
He must also pay a £200 fine.
PC Sarah Pride, of Cambridgeshire Police, said: “Drink and drug driving puts road users at risk and we will not tolerate it in our county.”
If you want to report drink driving call the police on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
