The woman encouraged her partner behind the wheel to say ‘come on, baby, let’s go!’

The car then entered a street at high speed and swerved to avoid colliding head-on with a tram.

‘How’s that for driving, darling? Well done or what? the man said.

The woman replied: ‘Good boy. Get us out of here.

The woman then said she was worried about the police air patrol before her partner told her one of the tires had burst and they needed to get out and run.

At times, the Mercedes allegedly swerved onto the wrong side of the road and ran red lights, while the man boasted about his driving skills.
