The 35-year-old avoided prison “by the skin of his teeth” on Thursday, July 17, as a judge said the victim could have been killed.
The Old Bailey heard that Tchikou, of Shelley Way in Colliers Wood, was driving a SEAT Leon on the evening of September 27 last year when he was involved in a minor collision with a motorcycle.
Tchikou said he “saw red” as the biker did not stop to swap details.
A lengthy chase ensued in which Tchikou pulled off highly dangerous manoeuvres, tried to crash into the motorcyclist and collided with street furniture.
The biker sustained some injury to his leg during the incident but was not supportive of the prosecution.
Tchikou pleaded guilty to dangerous driving.
Judge Philip Katz KC, sentencing, said: “You were using your car as a weapon. You were trying to bump into this man and knock him over.
“He was lucky not to be killed. The risk to him and members of the public as you drove like a maniac must have been obvious to you.”
Tchikou had an unblemished criminal record prior to this offence and the court heard he regrets his actions.
Judge Katz sentenced him to 15 months in custody but suspended the sentence for two years.
“You’ve avoided prison by the skin of your teeth,” Judge Katz said.
Tchikou will be required to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.
He will be disqualified from driving for 18 months and must pass an extended retest before he can drive again.
