Police in Gateshead have released CCTV of a dangerous driver as part of an ongoing crackdown on irresponsible driving in the area.
Katie Bough, 19, of Chowdene Bank, Low Fell was given a six week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, a 12-month supervision order, banned from driving for 15 months and ordered to pay £80 costs by Gateshead Magistrates after admitting driving dangerously and while using a mobile phone on the Team Valley.
Officers found her driving her Ford Fiesta with two people hanging onto the bonnet on the night of Sunday, April 8.
Operations Command Chief Inspector Sarah Pitt said: "This woman's actions are completely unacceptable. Those involved are lucky there were no serious injuries.
"Behaviour like this will not be tolerated and anyone who may think otherwise will be caught and face the consequences of their actions.
"This woman now has a criminal record which will inevitably affect her life which she may well regret for a long time.
Chief Superintendent Neil Adamson, head of Gateshead Area Command said: "This is not the sort of behaviour we want to see in Gateshead and I hope this shows how serious an offence this is.
"Something that seems like a bit of fun at the time could go horribly wrong. This case could have had a very different and life-changing outcome if someone had been seriously injured.
"I want to reassure people our officers are working with other agencies to crackdown on dangerous driving, particularly in and around the Team Valley area, and are taking action to tackle all kinds of anti-social behaviour."
