Nick Tatlow, prosecuting, told Stoke on Trent Crown Court. “The defendant was driving his Ford Focus Convertible on Berwick Road in the direction of Leek New Road with the top down. “Two started to ride away on their bikes. He got back in his car and drove at the group and the boys scattered. “He continued along the pavement before turning back on to Berwick Road and heading towards Leek New Road.
