Police have seized a 19-year-old provisional licence holder’s car after the driver allegedly committed multiple offences, including tailgating a police vehicle.
About 6.30pm Friday 18 August, ACT Policing Rural Patrol officers on Tidbinbilla Road, Paddys River, were approached from behind by a blue Subaru BRZ.
The Subaru’s driver allegedly tailgated the police Toyota Landcruiser before overtaking while crossing double unbroken road lines, then failed to stop when police activated lights and sirens.
Police located the vehicle several kilometres down the road, where it had stopped with the 19-year-old driver and his passenger inside.
The driver will be summonsed to court on a date to be fixed to answer charges of driving too close to the vehicle in front, overtaking when unsafe to do so, failing to stop for police, speeding, and not displaying P-Plates.
