Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “The driver seems to have watched the entire series of Fast and Furious,” a user said. “Neither the drivers of our police department are taught the art of hitting and stopping nor are the vehicles made of their type, otherwise the car riders would not have been able to run away,” said a second person. “The officer who issues the driver's license should be rewarded,” added next. “The man also ran away from Yogi's police. He really is a lion,” added a third user.
