Tevita Tangataolakepa, a 55-year-old father of five, was handed a 13-month sentence, with 11 months suspended, in the District Court in Carnarvon.
Tevita was jealous of his teenage son’s relationship with an older woman he also had a crush on.
“He pleaded guilty to charges of endangering life and criminal damage, after he chased the couple’s car at speeds of up to 180km/h,” the West Australian news website has reported.
It said Tevita chased the couple’s vehicle while his son Feleti Newman was driving without a driving license, one report said.
