Seamus Ford, from Eastleigh, was jailed for more than a year following a 45-minute pursuit which began in Salisbury and ended near the New Forest Water Park.
Footage from officers’ body-worn video cameras showed the moments after his arrest – including when he told them he wanted to smoke.

Ford was filmed saying: “Why am I going to stop and go to jail, bro?
“I’m going to jail, bro. I’ve lost everything. My family, everything, bro. What happened to my ******** car, bro?”
One of the officers replied: “Well, you won’t need that in prison, will you? Do you know how many people you could have killed?”
The 22-year-old then said: “Yeah, but I didn’t though, did I?”
A second police officer then said: “Doesn’t matter though, does it? Do you think the court are going to go, ‘oh you didn’t kill anyone, it’s fine’? Your driving was horrific.”
“I know it was,” Ford admitted.
He later said: “Come on officer, I want to smoke a cigarette.”

The clips were posted on Facebook after Ford was sentenced on November 27.
Police also shared dashcam footage of the chase, which took them to Churchill Way South, Coombe Road and Blandford Road, near Coombe Bissett.
Clips also showed them pursuing Ford’s blue Volkswagen Golf in Fordingbridge before they brought him to a stop on Ringwood Road.
Ford, of the Quadrangle, Eastleigh, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, failing to provide a specimen for analysis and possession of heroin and cannabis.
He was jailed for 15 months and disqualified from driving for 19 months.

PC Pedliham, based in Salisbury, said: “Ford’s driving was some of the worst I’ve seen and could have resulted in numerous collisions.
“I’d like to thank the members of the public who reported Ford’s dangerous driving, allowing us to sight Ford and arrest him following a pursuit.
“His driving was extremely dangerous and showed no regard for his fellow drivers, and I’m pleased he has been jailed.”
