A GROOM-TO-BE who led police on a 128mph chase as he raced to see his fiancee was jailed for five months and banned from driving for four years yesterday.

Delivery driver Asar Khan was told he had to be jailed because ‘anything could have happened’ as a result of his dangerous driving which went on for 16 miles.

Khan, of July Street, Blackburn, who was looking forward to his wedding when he led police on the chase, will now spend the early days of his marriage in a Scottish jail.

Perth Sheriff Court was told he was driving so fast the police called off their chase because of the danger to other road users.

Khan, 26, who got married in the wake of his arrest on 2 October, was driving a VW Golf R32 – which has a top speed of 155mph – from his home to visit his partner and child in the north-east of Scotland.

Fiscal deputy Katie Pacholek told the court that the incident took place around midnight after officers near Stirling services on the M9 saw Khan travelling at high speed and began pursuit.

She said: “As he approached a roundabout he lost grip and spun 90 degrees.”

Khan, 26, admitted driving dangerously and hitting speeds up to 128mph on the M90 and A9 on October 2.

He admitted failing to stop for uniformed police, ignoring two red lights, losing control at a roundabout, swerving and causing a car to take evasive action to avoid a collision.
