This driver is a professional driver with more than just a simple defensive driving course under his belt. The DA could and would use that to justify his responsiblity in not avoiding the officer in the performance of his duties.

that bs about someone being considered a lethal weapon if they are a professional fighter or martial artist is a crock. The only time thats ever relevant is if they were to curb stop someone or go above and beyond reason to the point where its no longer self defense. If someone goes to mug you and you break their jaw, you're fine, even if you are a boxer. If you throw them to the ground and kick them in the ribs then you've got a problem.
your point about them being held to a higher standard because they are a stunt driver doesn't make any sense either.
"Stunt driving is being able to take a vehicle to the edge of losing control…. while staying in control. "Controlled Chaos" as some have said. Almost every action movie features some type of automotive stunt work. Whether it is a fully involved car chase with multiple vehicles, or a single car sliding to a stop on a specific mark, these maneuvers are all executed by highly trained stunt performers.
As out of control as some of these stunts may look, they are planned, choreographed, rehearsed, and performed with every precaution taken. Timing can be critical and if one driver is a little off their mark or just a few seconds too late or early, the shot can be ruined or worse, someone could be hurt."
