The 24-year-old raced at up to 40mph on a path behind a school as he fled police and kept going even after blowing out his tyres.
A man who ran over and killed an eight-year-old boy in 2006 is back behind bars after racing through a residential area in a police chase.
Ashley Lindo reached up to 60mph as he drove along paths, blew out two tyres and pulled a handbrake turn.
The 24-year-old was jailed for 18 months at Teesside Crown Court after admitting dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance.
The court heard how Lindo pretended to stop for police in Middlesbrough but then sped off when an officer got out to speak to him.
The pursuit took place at 6.30pm on April 12 this year.
Prosecutor Sue Jacobs said he drove the Skoda Octavia up kerbs and between bollards and on a footpath behind a school.
When police blocked his path he mounted a kerb and blew out two tyres.
He was finally forced to ditch the car after they went completely flat, about a mile after the chase began. He ran off but was arrested soon after.
Lindo served half of a three-year sentence in a young offenders' institution after he knocked down Daniel Conroy Curtin in a stolen Rover Metro in May 2006.
The prosecution in the latest case said: "It is clearly aggravated by his previous convictions, the time of day and the locations, as it involved residential streets in central Middlesbrough."
The court also heard that Lindo had 11 convictions for 22 offences, including another dangerous driving offence three years after he killed the little boy.
Lindo's defence lawyer, Gary Wood, said his client had "panicked" and added that his outlook on life had changed "dramatically" since becoming a father six weeks ago.

They just are not allowed these days to give these scum any kind of punishment, vermin like this are needed back on the streets as soon as possible to keep the legal profession riding the gravy train.
I'm with steamship on this.
A piece of scum who failed to learn a lesson after killing an 8 year old.

clough&taylor is spot on. people can see through the judiciary system now, there should be a crack team set up to take out these basts their lawyers and the judges. cheers.
Better still Aunty let the b/fair forum decide their fate in cases like this. 
I feel I would be a good choice to act for the forum in handing out punishments, torture with real pain for a year and then put in a sack and flung into the thames, still alive of course, if you float obviously you will be released with immediate effect. cheers.
