Judge Martin Beddoe said the abuse dished out to police “demonstrates his rather contemptible attitude to law enforcement.”

He was jailed on Friday for six months in his absence for dangerous driving.

The judge added evidence in the case demonstrated “a profligate disregard by this defendant for the rules of the road” and the safety of other motorists and pedestrians.

He said : “Public roads are not to be used as if they are race tracks.”

Judge Beddoe added: “He is one of a number of arrogant, narcissistic individuals who use the highway in this way.”

Referring to the films, the judge said Ali’s “indifferent approach to the welfare of others” was evident in his self-recorded videos and “reinforced by the defendant’s driving record.”

The court heard he was banned for 56 days last February after being caught racing at speeds of up to 130mph for approximately a mile.

Ali was also banned from driving for two years and ordered to pay £2,800 costs.
