When asked why he drove in a crazy manner, Pora said he just wanted to look cool.
The Probation Service applied for a review of his home detention sentence after Pora cut off his ankle bracelet and absconded when Corrections declined his request for leave of absence to buy cigarettes from a dairy.
At the time he was serving 10 months' home detention in Auckland on charges of burglary, receiving, obtaining a document for pecuniary advantage, and unlawfully taking a motor vehicle.
He was re-sentenced to 13 months in jail on each of the charges he was serving home detention for.
A day after cutting off his bracelet, Pora stole a car from Port Rd in Whangārei and a police unit spotted the vehicle on Cairnfield Rd in Ōtangarei and attempted to stop him.
He stopped but before an officer could get out of the patrol car to talk to him, Pora reversed into the police car before speeding away. He repeated the action when stopped for a second time.
Pora then drove around residential streets of Whangārei, often on the wrong side of the road and at speed.
He threw hand tools, a box, a bag and clothes out to try to stop the pursuing police car.
On State Highway 1 at Kauri, the front left tyre of the stolen car was completely shredded but Pora continued driving at 140km/h and swerved into the opposite lane on multiple occasions.
He was arrested when he lost control of the vehicle after it veered off the road and crashed into a ditch.
Judge McDonald said judges in Northland have a zero tolerance for offenders who fled from police.
"Crashing into a patrol car and then on a second occasion attempting to do so makes it extremely serious in my view," he said.
