How about "common sense and good judgment" by the bike rider and Porsche driver?
From the story, it sounds like they were racing and blew past the cop. If one, or both wanted to exercise "common sense and good judgment" and wanted to avoid any risk of prosecution for more than the offenses they were clearly committing, they should have pulled-over immediately after they were aware that the officer observed them.
The officer would be alive and the drivers would probably just have speeding tickets.
If one had pulled over and stopped and waited for the officer and the other had continued to flee, and the officer pursued the fleeing suspect, the driver who stopped would have no risks for further charges if any accidents occurred in the chase.
