“Also, on this occasion,the only thing that was hurt was the car, the driver (albeit the car moreso than the driver - driver was checked out, very minor injuries), and a poor innocent lamppost on roundabout two which had kindly been minding its own business until this eejit forgot to turn the corner.
“You know the score folks, we’re tight on this no insurance lark in this district. Just don’t. It’s not worth it. We will catch you eventually!”
A PSNI spokesman confirmed that a man aged in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of a number of motoring offences, including careless driving and failing to stop for police.
