Alongside, he's got to slog through 25 rehab action requirement days and 120 hours unpaid labour.

Sergeant Steve Jackson, from Leicestershire Police Roads Policing Unit (RPU), commented: "Williams knew exactly what he was doing when he rammed the police car and then drove off."

"He had no regard for the other road users and drove at double the speed limit, completed inappropriate overtakes and ignored keep left bollards."

"Officers within the unit are highly skilled in their field and are trained to pursue vehicles – sometimes at great speed, putting themselves in danger to reach a safe resolution."

"We expect an element of risk in our job but when a suspect deliberately drives towards a police car that is totally unacceptable."

"Williams put officer’s lives at risk, and it was lucky no one was injured during the incident. We are pleased he pleaded guilty to the offences."!

Detective Constable James Highton said: "It was clear from Williams actions that he had no qualms in causing damage to the police vehicles and potential injury to the officers in those cars.

"During the interview he answered no comment to all the questions but the evidence against him was strong enough and he had no choice but to plead guilty."
