A Bowen farm worker has been slapped with a hefty fine after he dodged a roadside breath test while driving unlicensed, then lied to police that his car had been stolen.
Lionel Wayne Stretton accelerated heavily and crossed onto the wrong side of the road in an attempt to evade police after he "overtly" turned off Herbert Street into a side street to avoid a breath test site just before 8pm on March 17.
Bowen Magistrates Court heard this week a police vehicle had its lights and sirens activated as it pursued Stretton's white Holden Commodore wagon along Queens Road, but Stretton failed to stop.
