It drove on the M5 and M7 motorways – with NSW Police making the decision to call off the pursuit in the interest of public safety.
Footage from a Nine News helicopter shows the vehicle speeding through multiple intersections. The female passenger was seen with her feet up on the dashboard, and using her mobile phone.
