Trio In High Speed Chase Which Killed Pensioner Jailed For 30 Years




BMW driver Sagar Taseem, 26, ploughed into the car being driven by Elizabeth Roberts' daughter. Three thugs who caused a horror crash which killed a pensioner while using their cars 'as weapons' during a high speed chase have been jailed for a total of 30 years. Mrs Roberts was pronounced dead at the scene in front of her daughter Sheena Wilson, who had been driving the car but could 'do nothing' to avoid the impact. A court heard the crash was caused after three cars became involved in a nine-mile chase following an altercation between four men. During the pursuit, the BMW was followed by a Volkswagen Jetta before the two cars collided in Gaydon, Warwickshire. BMW driver Sagar Taseem ploughed into the car being driven by Elizabeth Roberts' daughter. He fled the scene and left the 80-year-old to die at the roadside. The 26-year-old, who has epilepsy and had already been banned from driving, had been smoking cannabis when he got behind the wheel. Samuel Franklin, 24, was chasing Taseem and Hussain in his Volkswagen Jetta. The court heard how the four men had been chasing one another on the B4451 at 60mph and continued their pursuit after killing Mrs Roberts.

VW finally showed the US-spec version of the 2019 Arteon at the Chicago Auto Show and revealed all the details of the new four-door coupe. US customers will be offered a single powertrain option in the form of a 2.0-liter TSI with 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Power will be transmitted to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission, with VW鈥檚 4Motion all-wheel drive available as an option. The interior gets leatherette seats (the front ones are heated) and an eight-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Mirrorlink as standard. Options include VW鈥檚 configurable Digital Cockpit instrument display, Nappa leather, front ventilated seats, a rear heated bench and more. Based on the MQB architecture, the new VW Arteon features a wheelbase that鈥檚 longer by more than five inches wheelbase compared to the CC (111.9 inches over 106.7 inches), which translates into a roomier cabin. The Arteon will be covered by VW鈥檚 transferrable People First Warranty that provides coverage for six years or 72,000 miles, whichever occurs first.





Does the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta have cruise control? Have you ever thought a car鈥檚 price is too good to be true, only to find yourself correct when it lacks what many of us consider requirements these days? One such this is cruise control. If you鈥檙e comparing the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta to the likes of the Chevy Cruze, for example, you might be wondering if the Jetta has cruise control in the base trim. After all, the Cruze does not. We鈥檙e happy to tell you that cruise control is a standard even in the base trim level. You鈥檒l find that all VW models have cruise control except for the outgoing Tiguan Limited, with adaptive cruise control becoming more and more popular. What is ACC and which models have it? Adaptive Cruise Control works in just the same way as your current cruise control, then adds to the functionality. To use it you simply turn on cruise control, set your speed and then you can press the middle ACC button to set your following distance. The ACC system will keep your speed as long as there is no vehicle in front of you, but also maintain a correct following distance when you come up on a slower moving vehicle. So, with standard cruise control already confirmed, which models have the more advanced adaptive cruise control?
