I'm not sure if this point has been made because there are so many comments but this is my take.
Yes - It’s absurd to flee a minor offence like a ticket or a short jail sentence. Taking the police on a high-speed chase, endangering your life and the lives of others, is not worth it for something so insignificant. Not only would you risk your car, police cars, and innocent civilian cars, but you would also be personally and financially responsible for the damage, which would cost you much more than the ticket or jail sentence.
You would also be on the hook for several other crimes which could send you away for the max.
Even fleeing on foot runs a risk of damage to police vehicles, equipment costs, wasted police time and potential life long injuries from being tasered or hit by a nightstick.
In addition to this 3.4 risk to your life or freedom. Running from a 750$ ticket and going to jail is risking your freedom for no reason.
