A RECKLESS teenage boy drove his mini-moto directly towards a policeman - and stopped just two feet in front of him.

The 15-year-old, from Erith, was then chased by the officer down an alley in Galleon Close, Bexley, at 4pm on June 10.

He was convicted in his absence at Bexley Youth Court and fined £30 for failing to stop; £30 for driving without a licence; and £60 for driving without insurance.

The boy, who cannot be identified, was also given eight penalty points and ordered to pay £70 costs.
