I was going to say that if this happened in the US, the local agency would probably have set up spikes at some point to try and slow the thing down. If that didn't work, depending on the agency would get an armored truck to box it in to a degree. However, the most simple option would be to shoot the guy, which is sad to say in itself. The reason I say it with confidence, and like how you said, is due to the fact that if someone hits cops in an obvious attempt to hit them, or try to hit them, lethal force will be authorized, as he is not only now putting the normal people at risk, he is also putting officers at risk.

The average car has a cooling system capacity of about 2-3 gallons give or take. The 7.3 Super Duties/Excursions have 5 gallon cooling system capacities. The average car has an oil pan capacity of anywhere from 4 to 8 quarts give or take. The 7.3 Super Duties/Excursions hold 15 quarts in their oil pans plus about another 3 quarts running through the motor and high pressure oil pump reservoir. So it's no wonder this engine stays so cool. It's got so much self-cooling capability it's almost insulting to even need a water pump. In fact, there's an aftermarket thermostat made for these engines that are rated hotter than stock for certain applications.
