A DRIVER of a 4x4 who tried to ram another motorist out of the way has been jailed.
Shaun Endersby, 34, saw red when he met another car head on in Verulam Way, Cambridge and there was nowhere to turn.
The plasterer, who was driving a 2.5 litre Ford 4x4, pushed Roydon Jones’ much smaller Seat Ibiza 1.4 back along the road.
Mr Jones’ car was written off after the incident, which left it with considerable frontal damage, and the front number plate from Endersby’s truck was found at the scene of the incident.
Their vehicles came together in the road which was lined with parked cars on both sides which meant there was no room to give way.
Endersby, of Water Lane, Oakington, was convicted of dangerous driving after a trial last month. He was cleared of racially aggravated harassment arising from the same incident which happened in April last year.
He denied both charges.
Endersby was jailed for eight months for dangerous driving and was given a further eight months on top from a previous suspended sentence.
He was also banned from driving for two years and was ordered to retake his driving test before he could get back on the road once the ban was over.
