Shocking footage of a motorist driving away from a police officer after he was pulled over has drawn outrage from Aussies who have slammed his behaviour. 

The man filmed the incident unfold on his phone after he was pulled over by Queensland Highway Patrol. 

An officer was seen speaking through the driver’s window and explained to the motorist that the car appeared to be unregistered.

‘Have you got your driver’s licence?’ he asked.

‘Nup… I’m going about my day,’ the driver responded before he began to pull away.

The frustrated officer yelled after the driver, demanding he stop his vehicle.

‘No, you’re detained!’ he said.

The driver shot back: ‘See ya later, brother.’

The man continued filming as the policeman got inside his car and turned his lights and siren on, likely preparing to pursue the driver.

The unregistered driver attempted to keep his cool, saying ‘Bless his little heart’ while eating a strawberry.

However, viewers were quick to point out the driver’s shaky hand, a clear sign of stress.

‘Your hands are shaking holding that strawberry though bro,’ one said.

‘The shaking hand with the strawberry,’ another wrote alongside laughing emojis. 

Other commenters called the driver an ‘idiot’ for filming and sharing the incident.

‘Takes a simple traffic offence, makes it a criminal offence and films the whole thing…. Yeah that’s smart,’ one wrote. 

‘I suspect [he] was picked up moments after that video ended,’ another said.

‘Haha then records touching a mobile phone and eating whilst driving in addition to evading police,’ another wrote.

Drivers caught failing to stop for an officer in Queensland face a fine of $5,500 or 50 days behind bars.

Meanwhile, the fine for driving an unregistered car varies between $313 and $417, depending on the engine size of the vehicle.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Queensland Police for comment.
