Not that I necessarily disagree with the points about the inefficiencies of our police forces in this country, but I think here the salient point is the criminals intent to use the motor vehicle as a device to evade capture regardless of potential injuries those trying to impede his flight might sustain.
I think if some dozer knocked you off your bike accidentally and then you confronted them by standing bodily in front of their vehicle and they drove through you to leave the scene it would be a different matter.
I do believe that there should be much stronger penalties against drivers who leave the scene of an accident and a automatic shift in the presumption of guilt upon them being brought before the courts.
