A man, whose prison sentence was suspended after he was involved in a car race in which two people died, must now serve the sentence in addition to a fresh conviction.

Jamie Harkness reportedly drove his off-road motorbike at two police officers.

The 21-year-old had been handed a suspended nine-month jail term for dangerous driving following the death of Joe Austin, 18, and his passenger Shaun Bradberry, 19, in crash as they raced on the A6 in January 2006.

But in spite of being disqualified from driving he was recently involved in another incident.

Gerrard Rogerson, prosecuting, told the court that the latest one occurred after police spotted Harkness riding his motor bike with two pillion passengers on the road from Cumwhinton.

He was said to have deliberately drove at them when they tried to stop him, forcing them to jump off the way.

Harkness pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving with excess alcohol, having no bike insurance, driving while disqualified, carrying two pillion passengers and not wearing a crash helmet.

The judge, Recorder John Bromley-Davenport QC ordered him to serve the nine months earlier suspended and another 12 months imposed for his latest offence.

The court also banned him from driving for two years.
