He had just witnessed it run into another car and flee. If not drunk they were at least panicked and irrational.
He commented how fast it was coming up the emergency lane.
He moved in front of it at a very slow speed to attempt to "slow it down.
We have no clue how close the car was behind when he did it so can not say there was "plenty of time".
He knew there was a cop right ahead and could simply have told him (if he even needed to which I doubt) and had the same result that ultimately happened without putting himself and all the drivers nearby at risk.
