As Curtis drove towards Bethlehem through suburban roads and on State Highway 2, his driving was at erratic speeds ranging from almost stationary to well over the speed limit.
He was also weaving in and out of his lane and nearly struck vehicles on several occasions and was seen striking several road cones in a road works area.
Curtis also drove up on to a centre island at the intersection of Cameron Rd and 15th Ave and members of the public called the police and followed his vehicle.
Curtis parked near an address in Carmichael Rd in Bethlehem and when police arrived he was still sitting in the driver's seat, yet denied driving.
Evidential breath test procedures were done but Curtis refused a police officer's request to provide a blood sample.
His lawyer, Jessica Rose, urged Judge David Cameron to further remand Curtis on bail pending sentencing.
She said although Curtis had a "terrible" criminal history, and a prison sentence was possible, his last conviction was five years ago and he had fully complied with his bail conditions.
Rose also handed up a letter from Curtis' doctor to the judge.
A police prosecutor opposed bail.
Judge Cameron agreed it was appropriate to remand Curtis in custody pending sentencing on November 2 given the number of convictions he had amassed.
The judge called for a home detention report but Curtis was told that was not to be taken as an indication of the likely sentencing outcome.
