So the correct course of action in this situation (being chased by a murderer) is to make a decision that 100% ensures the denied-driver's death, in order to prevent the possible, and probably unlikely death of an bystander due to said driver's likely emotionally-impaired driving?

No, that's not ethical reasoning at all.

It's not what I said; I didn't bring up Jason the serial killer.. my point was that you can't ask people to judge balance to risk when it comes to them..

That said, the false-negatives of people really being chased by serial killers is probably worth it compare to all real victims of dangerous or drunk drivers that could be saved.
