Great points. So you would rather have to maneuver around the traffic that might not see you coming from behind than HOPE that the cars see you coming and can get out of your way. I would tend to agree. the article above also speaks to getting the call out and maybe having the police/LE block off traffic for a particular section of road. I remember an occassion from many years ago when that exact circumstance happened and the small GA had enough altitude and time for the LE to get into position.
