Yes there is a reason for him to run because he was doing double the speed limit, getting caught = car getting towed and him getting arrested, at that point you either stop and bite the bullet, or you keep hauling ass until you get to the next exit.
I will admit I can get away with a lot of shit because daddy was a cop :lol but theres been a couple occasions where I was going faster than I should have and gunned it to the nearest exit, because even my old man couldent get me out of that one.
The cop being on your ass and flooring it is one thing, gunning it while he’s still coming out of hiding is another
