The Mountie attempted to stop the vehicle but the driver sped off.
A short time later, a member of the Halifax Regional Police clocked the same vehicle travelling at 192 km/h in a school zone on Rocky Lake Drive.
Police say the driver passed several vehicles on a solid yellow line, facing oncoming traffic.
The driver refused to stop for police, the vehicle was not pursued and was last seen heading towards Waverly, N.S.
Police attempted to set up a roadblock on Waverly Road near Fall River, N.S., in order to stop the vehicle. Instead, the vehicle continued to travel at a very high rate of speed, swerving in and out of traffic and avoiding the police.
