He drove over 30 miles and probably had 10 minutes to think about putting it in neutral before the cops finally got him stopped.
I heard part of the 911 call on TV and the person answering his 911 call made that suggestion to him, but I did not catch his whole answer other than he was worried about the car flipping for some reason and something about putting down his cell phone.

Hmmm..San Fran....driving a Prius.......I bet he had "'pucker factor #10", if'n he was capable of it.....lol
He should have been ticketed for speeding while talking on his cell phone.
And irronically........What is the fine for "Rear ending" a Cop at 90 mph?
I'd hate to be rear ended in San Fran. (or anywhere else)

OK....What would Rex do?
Rex is cruising around in his M911. This dude in his Toy iota needs to be stopped.?!? Run him over, or let him eat your rear tires and shread his Prius to bits (I'm neutral on this). There are other options too.
What if...(not only Rex)... your cruisin' in yer Hummer in San Fran (probably shouldn't use Hummer and San Fran in the same sentence)...what to do?
Too many questions..not enough answers....

He also could have just turned the car off, then shiftd into neutral not sure why these folks aren't doing that.

Well apparently, Prius has a PUSh START, and you have to hold the push button for a whole three seconds to shut it off.. I'm telling you, this guy has a vendetta and is full of crap..
Watch the copy cats come out in droves...

Possibly the onboard computer wouldn't let him turn it off or put it in neutral.......More Toyota's in the news this morning with similar problems......

Brian, it gets better.
This from Forbes.com: (the last sentence is great)
Sikes also has a history of filing insurance claims for allegedly stolen items that are slowly coming to light. In 2001 he filed a police report with the Merced County Sheriff's Department for $58,000 in stolen property, including jewelry, a prosumer mini-DV camera and gear, and $24,000 in cash, according to Fox40 in Sacramento. His bankruptcy documents show a 2008 payment of $7,400 for an allegedly stolen saxophone and clothes.
For what it's worth, Sikes owned and operated a Web site called AdultSwingLife.com

Rex being a manly man would first shoot out all the tires with his peashooter, then activate his super top-secret retractor beam to slow down the runaway.
Capt. Kirk step aside........
