Let me see if I can break it down so even you can understand. What amounts to a 50 foot wide road, heavy traffic and a suspect running at 100+ mph. They can stop the traffic behind them but they can very well stop the traffic in front of them without risking lives. There's a lot of variable in that. The found an opening after 60 miles.(60 f'ing mile! Hello?) She wasn't going to stop! More than likely someone was going to get hurt! That's why they did what they did.
As for the passenger if I'm him after about 10 minutes of this chase I'm reaching over and turning off the key. By continuing to "go along for the ride" shows complicity on his part in my eyes! A heavy price was payed I admit but that's where your brain comes in handy!
