This terrifying footage shows a criminal leading police on a dangerous high-speed chase -- in what a judge described as a "monstrous" piece of driving.

Daimon Hick, 26, was filmed overtaking vehicles at breakneck speeds and driving in the opposite lane of a dual carriageway on a police dashcam.

At one point he accelerates to a shocking 80mph in a 30mph zone in his Vauxhall Astra.
