Why wouldn't the police just hit him at the end if they were going to crash anyway?

[LucaTurilli89]

it's called fear dude. They didn't knew they would crash. A better strategy would be to slow down to have more time to shoot and to shoot preciselly.

I looked up "The Driver" on IMDB. The film was originally written for Steve McQueen but by 1978 McQueen was heavily over-weight and facially haggard. McQueen died in 1980.

The leading role played by Ryan O'Neal only has 350 words throughout the whole film. Not one character in this film has a name, they are all addressed by their occupation; e.g. "the Driver".

The Driver was originally 120 minutes but it was cut down to only 90 minutes omitting more chase scenes and character development.

It's a choice between hitting a dumpster or a high-speed car.
