A man – who's interstate driver's licence is suspended until 2032 – has been arrested after vehicles were allegedly rammed on the state's South Coast earlier today.

The SUV was sighted by officers attached to South Coast Police District and Highway Patrol's Traffic South, who initiated a pursuit when the driver allegedly failed to stop when directed.
