A suspected drink driver put lives at risk after attempting to escape capture in a frightening police chase.
Police shared shocking footage of Saturday's incident in Devizes on the Wiltshire Specialist Ops Twitter account.
In the video taken from dashcam footage of a squad car, the white car police were tailing can be moving at speed past parked cars on one side and oncoming traffic on the other - all while negotiating bends in the road.
The driver was said to be going at double the 30mph speed limit in a built-up residential area.
"This is the moment a car decided to accelerate away from #RPU reaching 60mph in a 30," police wrote.
"RPU quickly stopped the car to find a rather intoxicated driver, trip to the cells to sober up pre-charge for this chap."
