A man who has never held a driving licence and has 48 previous convictions has been jailed for drink-driving.
Mark Culverhouse, aged 23, of Fullingdale Road, Headlands, was jailed for 10 months and disqualified from driving for two years at Northampton Crown Court after a police chase in Northampton on December 17.
Police said he drove at speeds of 50mph in a 30mph zone and swerved across the road.
He finally jumped out of the car while it was still moving, sending the vehicle crashing into a lamppost.
He was jailed for aggravated taking of a vehicle, drink driving and driving without insurance.
