A reckless driver who was filmed overtaking eight cars at once by an undercover cop has been banned for driving for 18 months.
Graily's driving caught on camera

Graily, of Marton Road, Bridlington, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving at Hull Crown Court on Wednesday.

He was sentenced to four months in jail, suspended for 12 months, and banned from driving for 18 months.

He was also ordered to pay a £722 fine and given a four-month 9pm to 6am curfew and a 12-month community order.

PC Dennis decided to follow Graily along the road after receiving a number of reports over several days concerning bad driving in the area.

The officer used a covert motorbike with video equipment to film the van driver's dangerous manoeuvres.

"We are happy with the sentence, which reflects the serious nature of the offence," he told the Hull Daily Mail.



In the police video, Christopher Mark Graily, 39, can be seen driving his Mercedes van at over 60mph on the wrong side of the A614 in East Yorkshire for over 30 seconds.

He is also seen diving in and out of traffic at high speed, passing cars on blind bends and forcing other drivers to brake sharply to avoid him.

The Humberside officer who made the recording from his motorbike said it was a "miracle" nobody was killed.

PC Glen Dennis told the Hull Daily Mail: "In my time as a police officer, this is the worst case of dangerous driving I have come across.

"It is a miracle he didn't kill someone."
