Ashall admits assault and dangerous driving.
Defending, Anthony Parkinson said: “He concedes his driving was dangerous. There’s a recognition by him of the danger he placed himself his child and the other people in at the time, although he says the initial part of the incident was more six of one and half a dozen of the other. He accepts he went on and overstepped the mark.”
Judge Simon Newell said: “You might not think much about your own life but you should have thought about the life of your son, because you know it could have gone horribly wrong.
“It’s a most stupid way to behave, whatever the outset might have been.
“For a 29-year-old man with a three-year-old in the car you behaved totally irresponsibly.”
In addition to the jail term, he imposed 120 hours unpaid work, curfew, three year ban, and an extended retest.
