Traffic: 19-year-old driver fleeing through red lights and pavement

A 19-year-old driver fled from a police checkpoint in Limburg by driving over a pedestrian crosswalk, a shoulder lane, and a red traffic light. The incident occurred after he was flagged down by police for 'drifting into the line of sight of a patrol.' Instead of stopping, the driver accelerated, forced vehicles ahead of him using his headlights, and partially overtook them on the sidewalk. He then drove through a red light and eventually overtook cars on the shoulder lane of the A3 highway. Police had to stop their pursuit temporarily but later identified the driver and vehicle through investigations. The car, mobile phone, and driver’s license were seized, and the teenager is now under investigation for illegal racing, endangering road traffic, and coercive behavior on the road.
