A shocking video has shown the moment an uninsured driver took off from police in a 60mph chase through the streets of Shirley. 

Matthew Fielder-Taylor failed to stop for officers whilst driving a Renault Megane along Shirley Road in Southampton. 

The dashcam footage shows officers approaching the vehicle before Fielder-Taylor took off at speed, driving on the wrong side of the road. 

He then drove down residential streets with police having to hit speeds of up to 60mph in order to keep up.

The chase came to an end when the car was stopped near bollards on Waterhouse Lane before Fielder-Taylor took off on foot. 

The 35-year-old of Warren Avenue, Southampton received a nine-month sentence suspended for 24 months at Southampton Crown Court last week. 

He had previously pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving without a licence, driving with no insurance and failing to provide a specimen for analysis. 

He was also banned from driving for 18 months and must complete 100 hours of unpaid work and 15 rehabilitation days. 

Fielder-Taylor was ordered to pay £300 court costs. 

The incident took place on January 27 last year.
