Christmas is a jolly time of year, but it's always hectic, especially if you're Santa! Unfortunately, this phony had a run-in with the law when they traded the tried and true reindeer and sleigh for a motorcycle.

Dashcam footage from a trooper vehicle in Florida shows a skilled rider evading the authorities dressed as Father Christmas himself. A video posted by FHP (Florida Highway Patrol) Tampa captured the entire chase. Officers try to stop a rider wearing the iconic red and white ensemble on a corner of the highway. Presents are more important than the police to this rider, and they make a sharp right turn into a gas station.
The Saint Nick imposter snakes through the pumps before taking another turn back onto the highway. As the police car can't match the motorcycle's mobility, it hits the road just in time to see the festive motorcyclist speed off into the distance.
According to the New York Post, the rider was weaving through traffic at a ridiculous 120 miles per hour through Beverley Hills, prompting the chase.
