I agree - any damage caused by the high-speed chase would be all the runner's fault. The question is whether or not "jumping on the bonnet" is an action that is caused by a high-speed chase? ???

ok, put it this way. what was the reason they were chasing him? he was doing an illegal u-turn. so for an illegal u-turn they are willing to drive at up to 100 mph risking other peoples lives on the road...

No the reason they chased him was not because he was doing an illegal u-turn, that was the reason they pulled heim over (or tried in this case). The reason they chased was that he ran, and running is illegal!
jbox:
Everyone runs.
Glaine:
Saying that it was the cops' fault that this person was reckless because they chased him is backwards logic. According to this wit, we should just let everyone who wants to run away from the cops do so and not even true to bring them to justice. Besides, if the report that he was drunk and high behind the wheel in the first place, he was already a weapon on the streets in the first place.
