A TILEHURST man has been jailed for dangerous driving following a hearing in Reading.

Neil Woodliffe, aged 43, of Berkshire Drive, Tilehurst, was found guilty of a count each of dangerous driving and perverting the course of justice at a hearing at Reading Crown Court on Friday, December 8.

Woodliffe was sentenced to 16 months in jail, eight months each for his convictions, and was also disqualified from driving for a year, including an 8-month extension.

He will be required to take an extended re-test.

Terry Fox, aged 40 and of Thatcham was found guilty of dangerous driving, and found not guilty of perverting the course of justice during the same trial, along with Christopher Burn, aged 31 and of Winnersh, who was also found guilty of dangerous driving.

He was also ordered to do 180 hours of unpaid work and pay £1,500 in costs.

John Murdoch, aged 37 and of Lysander Drive, Bracknell, was found not guilty of dangerous driving, but was instead found guilty of careless driving also at the same trial.

Steven Barry, aged 45 and of Ellis Road, Crowthorne, pleaded guilty to careless driving the same trial.

Simon Parsons, aged 37, of Falcon Way, Bracknell, was acquitted of dangerous driving.

It follows a Thames Valley Police investigation which found that the offenders had cameras fitted in their cars during the time of a collision.

Woodliffe had hidden an SD card in a medicine box, but was subsequently arrested on July 27, 2021.

nvestigating officer PC James Baker, of the Joint Roads Policing Unit, said: “This conviction demonstrates the seriousness of Woodliffe’s driving, which fell far below that of a competent driver.

“It was clear to see the defendant was willing to take needless risks and in doing so put other road users at risk of serious harm.

“We will not tolerate behaviour such as this on our roads, and will robustly pursue and prosecute those who feel it’s acceptable to disregard the law.”
