basically if they don't knock them down, there's no way to stop them and they just have to not crash until they can easily get away.

And if they started doing this years ago then it wouldn't be in the plague proportions it is now.
If they choose to ride at high speed (high speed for a scooter that is)recklessly, then suffer the consequences, even if that means a nudge from a cop car.

These ferals think they can run rampant without consequences.

I bet the bobbys get a sense of pleasure, knocking down those that used to get away...

Finally.
What to do next?
Make all criminals responsible for any injury sustained whilst involved in crime related activities.
Simples.

Love it!

They should do it over here to those who choose to ride unregistered dirtbikes through streets and on footpaths to their meth dealers.
