In that time a single crewed car has a lot to do, firing on the blue lights when the car is already in the distance gives the driver far more time to put his foot down before the Police car could get anywhere near him.

I do not go with the excuse that he was a lone driver, if he had not accelerated to such an extreme speed he would have been able to switch his blues and twos on and possibly not killed Hayley.
It was a residential housing estate and no one has the right to barrel down a ordinary road at that speed policeman or not and regardless of the possibility of warning the criminal that he is being pursued the safety of the public should be and must be paramount in any public servants mind and his siren and blue lights should have been switched on.
When did the members of the public become second fiddle to a copper handing out a ticket?
If anyone in your job thinks in this way then they should resign with immediate effect as they are a liability and a danger to the public.
He is a killer and thus should be treated as such regardless of his previous status and therefore his family should have to visit him in prison at Christmas to remind him of what he has done.

He killed a 16 year old girl for no reason other than he thought he had to nick someone by driving at a ridiculously high speed without any warnings, her possibly being drunk has no bearings on the fact that he killed her through excessive use of speed.
