If he's as befuddled as you seem to think he is, what makes you think he saw the stop stick before he saw the copper signalling him to stop? IIRC a stop stick is black and when sitting on the road surface would be much less visible than a person standing in the road holding his hand up near a police car. >>>>> He could have even performed a u-turn, unless he was stopped by the >>>>> officer who "opened" his window. >>>> Why would he turn round, his destination was in front? >>> >>> To continue trying to get away from the police? >>> I've seen old duffers like that before- they seem to think that if they >>> keep going, the police will eventually give up and go away. >> >> You seem to think he was trying to get away.

That's not an explanation of why he was "trying to get away".
