“On several occasions, the vehicle has been observed on the wrong side of the road and narrowly missing other vehicles and pedestrians,” Wickman said.

“The appalling behaviour continued on to the North-Western Motorway, where the Subaru has been involved in minor collisions with several vehicles on the Newton Rd on-ramp.”
Having been damaged by these collisions, the vehicle was finally brought to a stop after exiting the motorway at Te Atatū Rd.
A 54-year-old man has been taken into custody and charges will be laid.
Wickman said the outcome could have been far worse.
“It’s fortunate that the damage is only to vehicles, and no one has been seriously injured as a result of this reckless behaviour.”
