Zac Michael Gordon, 21, of Ashmont appeared via video link in Wagga Local Court on May 17 after he had pleaded guilty to two counts of police pursuits and three driving in dangerous manners.

He had also pleaded guilty to charges of driving without a licence, driving an unregistered and uninsured car, unlawfully possessing number plates, common assaults, destroy property and failure to appear in court.

Magistrate Imad Abdul-Karim said the police pursuits were objectively serious and dangerous.

"I have no doubt in my mind that had the police continued with the pursuits that you would not have stopped until you were involved in an accident," Mr Abdul-Karim said.

He sentenced Gordon to a 26-month intensive corrections order with various conditions, including 250 hours of community service work and participating in domestic violence courses.

Court documents state that the first pursuit happened about 11.35pm on March 27 this year across a number of Wagga suburbs, including Ashmont, Mount Austin and Tolland.

Court documents state that the first pursuit happened on March 27 this year across a number of Wagga suburbs where he drove on the wrong side of the road numerous times and travelled up to 30km/h more than the speed limits.

The second pursuit happened three days later where he sped through a set of red traffic lights. Police terminated both pursuits because of safety risks.

The assaults and other non-traffic offences happened in January and February this year.

In court on Friday, defence solicitor Marie-Clare Tabuteau argued for leniency based on his need for rehabilitation.

"As of last year, he developed an ice addiction [and] spent hundreds of dollars a day on it," Ms Tabuteau said.

"It affected him to the extent that he quit his job."

Ms Tabuteau said that in relation to the pursuits, the risk of Gordon driving on the wrong side of the road were not as severe as other cases.

"The court has matters come before it where vehicles are approaching other vehicles at very high speed, coming very close and those vehicles have been forced off the road or had to take evasive action," she said.

Ms Tabuteau also said the assaults were out of character for him as he did not have a history of violence.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Priscilla Jones argued for a full-time custodial sentence, saying the pursuits were dangerous, particularly the first one.

"It's crossing Willans Hill and my understanding is that it's not a well-lit street, and certainly it is a windy road," she said.
