No it is not.The car following him was an unmarked police car. He did not know this. Whatever speed he was doing when the police took up their chase is not reported. What was reported was that the lad was under the belief that someone dodgy was chasing him. The chase did not end in the usual manner of either a smash or the driver stopping and then doing a runner, but of the driver pulling over once he realised who it was behind him. The judge took all circumstances into account and punished him accordingly.
