And so instead of putting the car into reverse, Braedon Kane Williams headed for the back yard of the West Albury property.
Williams, who police wanted over a revocation-of-parole warrant, drove around the back of the house then straight through a metal fence as an officer yelled: "Braedon, stop!"
The 31-year-old Albury man didn't.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Instead, Williams took off at speed into Cassia Street and then on to Jacaranda Street, passing the police - who were still in the driveway - at 70km/h in what was a 50km/h zone.
Albury Local Court has been told that Williams then travelled east along Pemberton Street and, after turning right into Mott Street, was sighted by another police crew.
Williams, police said, increased his speed to about 100km/h, at one point overtaking two vehicles after crossing unbroken lines as he "accelerated harshly" away.
It was too dangerous and Williams - last seen turning left on to Thurgoona Street - was driving too fast, so police abandoned the pursuit, back on August 21 about 7.30am.
Williams has appeared in the court dock on charges of destroy or damage property and second-offence counts of driving while disqualified and police pursuit.
Initially these were to go to hearing, but Williams changed his pleas to guilty.
Defence lawyer Mark Cronin told magistrate Richard Funston that Williams had other matters set to be mentioned on March 10 that, as a result of negotiations with the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, were "a long way to being resolved".
Mr Funston adjourned the driving matters to the same date for sentence.
Williams did not apply for bail.
