Maybe the ATV didn't know. I still think the cop could've done something other than move his cruiser directly into the path of the moving ATV on a clearly marked two-lane road....like blasting his siren, flashing his lights and getting on his loudspeaker and yelling halt.

The last thing a driver expects or wants to see is a car moving directly into his/her path.

Luckily the AFV rider wasn't killed.
