A 25-year-old man has been charged after allegedly ramming a police motorcycle in Golden Bay.
The man was driving a Subaru Forrester along Mandurah Road around 5.40am on Friday, March 15 when he was instructed to pull over for a traffic stop at the intersection of Dampier Drive.

The driver then allegedly sped off along Mandurah Road.
The man from Lakelands has been charged with endangering the life, health or safety of a person, reckless driving to escape pursuit, criminal damage, no authority to drive, failing to report an incident and obstructing public officers.
He is due to appear before the Rockingham Magistrates Court today.
