Police arrested the 35-year-old driver from Queensland who was taken to Macksville Police Station where he was charged with driving in a dangerous manner, driving while disqualified and for supplying a prohibited drug.
His passenger, a 35-year-old Queensland man, was charged with two outstanding warrants.
