Not expressing a view on the original question ...

it could be that a continue and fly over the vehicle would avoid an accident than an attempt to stop in insufficient distance and hit the vehicle

In general stopping will take less distance than going until the aircraft is at the high speed end of the takeoff.

A well known mishap incident relating to the stop/go question occurred at Sydney many years ago.

Good heavens .. that's 42 years ago nearly ... how time flies when one is having fun .. can recall it like it was yesterday.
