You do not get the road network as a vector layer but as part of an 
image downloaded from Google servers. In that case, it would be very 
difficult (and probably illegal) to extract it automatically.

Depending on the area you are considering, you may have better luck with 
OpenStreetMap data. They can be downloaded as vector entities.
