Then we'll see less pursuit deaths.

Coupla things:
The media always refer to such a chase as a "Police chase". So if someone dies it is reported along the lines of, "Youth dies in Police chase." This contains a tacit implication that the Police were at fault. This impression is reinforced by the announcement of an inquiry, and that the matter has been referred to the Police Complaints Authority.
A more realistic headline might be, "Stupid criminal arsehole kills himself while attempting to evade Police." If you think that's a bit tough, imagine this was happening on your bike which he had just stolen. Somehow though that headline, while accurate, needs to be a bit more snappy.
Somebody referred to thought processes; it's more basic than that. The response goes back to the days of cavemen and sabre tooth tigers. I am admitting to nothing you understand, but I can remember when I was young. No, not quite as far back as sabre tooth tigers. One time the siren goes off and you shit yourself (figuratively I hope). Next time time it's, "Fuck you", and away we go. This is to do with the fight or flight response. Of course then you have time to think, but once you have grabbed the gas you would look pretty silly slowing down.
If any of you actually plan to do a runner you had better keep your tank topped up - or it could get very embarrassing.

The same principle is used to assign fault in "collisions" simply by using a pejorative instead of a generic noun when describing an MVA. "Biker collides with Tanker." That usually translates in reality to Burgman 650 scooter rider killed by Tanker not stopping at an intersection. Apologies to Burgman 650 riders and tanker drivers alike. Any resemblence to Burgman 650 riders and Tanker drivers in general is completely coincidental.
The "Police Chase" thing has started to become almost as annoying as the aforementioned habit of apportioning blame via clumsy use of language. It primarily indicates the lack of respect the media has for its client base. "We did no research so we won't report any facts but the Police WERE in the process of pursuing someone. So there."
It used to be, "A suspect in a petrol station robbery was identified by a Police unit and pursued, however pursuit was abandoned and the driver of the pursued vehicle later lost control of their vehicle. Police are on the look out for a Caucasian male, approximately 1.8 metres tall, wearing jeans and a black t-shirt." Not very exciting though, is it?
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Some reading for you.

So when a chase goes tits up, Police get in the shit and the guy they're chasing dies. And here you are telling people not to stop. Perhaps if the person being chased stopped they'd go to court get a fine and live. Isn't that better than running and putting yourself and the public at risk?
Just had a thought.
You cant find anything re police pursuit policy.
Try looking up Fleeing Driver Policy.
