    obviously you did not have drink or drugs taken or the would have arrested you. The do not have to arrest you for dangerous driving, you will just get a summons in the post. I assume the told you the would be charging you with dangerous/careless driving. Im sure the asked you to produce your documents within ten days. why did you not stop for them?

    It will depend on your previous record if you have one and then who knows how the judge will react. have you got a solicitor?. If this is the first offence you might just get a fine.

    what has your solicitor said ? I would not think you will get a ban but it depends on the judge and what evidence the guards give on the day. It also depends on the speed you were driving and how far the chase continued for. Were there other road users at the time and other factors.

    Do what your solicitor says.
    Take whatever the judge gives you, running from the cops is a stupid thing to do.
