When being chased by Police, what is the best way to defeat the P.I.T. maneuver?

Asked by RealEyesRealizeRealLies (30951points) April 7th, 2010

The P.I.T Maneuver either stands for:

Precision Immobilization Technique
Pursuit Immobilization Technique
Pursuit Intervention Technique
Parallel Immobilization Technique
Precision Intervention Tactic

Here is a sample of it in action.

I’m not interested in how to avoid the P.I.T Maneuver. I want to know how to defeat it once it has been employed upon my vehicle. My theory is that once I feel it happen, that my natural instinct of hitting the brakes should be avoided. I think that’s what turns the car around to a stop. My theory is that instead, to defeat the maneuver, I should hit the gas hard and keep the back wheels spinning, never allowing the vehicle to halt completely.

THIS GUY defeats the maneuver twice and looks like he gets away. I think he’s doing what I suggest, just keeping the back wheels spinning. But the P.I.T. is supposed to be employed with two cars. One behind to prevent the bandit from continuing his spin.

How would you overcome the P.I.T. Maneuver? Keep in mind, that you may not necessarily be running from the cops. This could be employed by anyone who wanted to run you off the road.

And lastly, would you ever consider doing the P.I.T. on someone else, out of anger, or to save your life?
