A 40-YEAR-OLD Twin Waters man has been charged after allegedly failing to stop for a random breath test overnight.

Officers were conducting tests on Prestwick Dr at Twin Waters shortly after 10pm Thursday when the man allegedly failed to stop.

A police spokeswoman said officers followed the man until he stopped less than 1km away.

She said the man was charged with failing to stop, failing to provide a sample of breath on two occasions and unlicensed driving.

The spokeswoman said the man's driver licence had been disqualified by a court.

The man is due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on May 13.
