This video shows the the moment a reckless boy racer tries to escape police by reversing down a busy dual carriageway at 60mph

Footage also shows the teenage driver of a silver Citroen Saxo speeding backwards towards a roundabout as he tries to outfox the police.

It also shows him mounting the central reservation and then driving at high speed the wrong way down the carriageway, narrowly missing oncoming traffic.

Pursued by an unmarked police car, the driver then mounts the reservation a further two times as the police, who were soon joined by back-up vehicles, attempt to stop the driver.

The chase happened at the Hams Hall industrial estate near Coleshill, Warwickshire, last month during a police crackdown on illegal 'car cruise' events.

The 1.33 minute clip shows dozens of young men cheering and laughing hysterically as the Citroen is chased by the Seat police car.

After the heart-stopping chase it appears the driver is finally caught as he is boxed in.

However he actually managed to squeeze past the patrol cars and evade capture
