“In order not to strike the girl directly, the cop jumped off his motorcycle, pulling it down on its side on the pavement”
From the OP. There must be something wrong with that description. Sounds like a movie stunt
The first thing to do is to avert your eyes from the child. Too many bikers zero in on the obstacle in the road assuring they will hit it. but I cant see any situation where I would jump off the bike.
