Saeedi was charged after motorists made multiple triple zero calls reporting a northbound white Mercedes was being driven dangerously along the Hume Highway north of Holbrook about 2.15pm on July 22.

Riverina Highway Patrol officers attempted to intercept the vehicle at South Gundagai but Saeedi failed to stop when directed and a pursuit was initiated.

Police said the Mercedes reached speeds of up to 170km/h during the chase.

Road spikes were deployed, puncturing two of the car's tyres, but Saeedi continued north until the vehicle was stopped by a police roadblock south of Yass.

An officer then used a baton to smash one of the car's windows and arrest her.

Saeedi was taken to Yass police station, before taken to Yass Hospital for blood and urine samples.

She remains on bail and the case will return to Gundagai Local Court on October 13.
