A driver’s plan to leave RNC in the dust last night didn’t end up working in his favour.

Officers attempted to pull the car over on Topsail Road in Mount Pearl around 1:50 this morning, but the driver hit the gas and took off.

RNC followed the car, which then turned up a road where officers had just clewed up a response to a separate situation.

With nowhere left to turn, the car came to a stop.

The 30-year-old man was charged with dangerous driving, flight from police and breach of a court order not to drive a motor vehicle.

He was also issued tickets under the Highway Traffic Act for driving without the proper credentials, running a red light and failing to notify transfer of ownership of the vehicle.

He was taken into custody to appear in court today.
