It's physics, and rather different from losing it on ice.
You're going forward, the sideways nudge at the rear is enough to break lateral traction and put you out of control fairly quickly. As with ice, steering into the skid may work to retain some control. Having stability control will also help, as might being in a vehicle with good lateral stability and a low center of gravity. http://jianbolu.tripod.com/paper/DSCC2008-2183.pdf is an interesting technical read. Don't let the pursuing car get near you, or along-side you and go fast (too dangerous for the pursuer to attempt a pit at high speed) At low speed, don't go around corners (so he can clip you as you turn), or only do so when you are sure there's enough distance. Distance can be achieved by encouraging the pursuing vehicle to back off. Automatic weapons fire seems to work in most cases.

With a rear wheel drive vehicle there is no real defense other than not letting anyone into the position needed to pit. With a front wheel drive go against your instincts to let off the gas and accelerate hard to let the front wheels pull the rear back into position.

The PROFESSIONAL driver (target vehicle) was able to defeat the PIT but he was in his mirrors and able to slip into neutral when he allowed the persuit unit to make contact. The average idiot running isn't going to be good enough to defeat the PIT. |

slamming the brakes helps load weight on the front tires and makes it easier for the cop to push the rear of the car. |

I'm guessing 4WD and mass would be effective.
I dont see a cruiser being able to do it to a 1-Ton 4WD ttruck with a payload in the back. Another alternative would be speed....they cant push what they cant catch. Steering away from the cruiser would make it a lot more difficult as the front wheels would move the front of the vehicle in the same direction that the patrol car is pushing the rear of the vehicle...resulting in the entire car being oriented in more or less the same direction. Probably other ways to avoid it....including not getting into a pursuit

During my formative "street racing" days, I did it twice. Once in my '68 Cougar and once in my '85 Mustang GT. Never got caught. Stopped racing after I heard the reports about a local guy that lost control during a race and cut a limo in half, killing most of a wedding party that was on their way to the reception.

The owner of the vehicle should be happy the CHP recovered the vehicle, but than again it was most likely impounded as evidence, stripped clean at the impound lot, and from the looks of it the car was totaled during the stop. Yep, the vehicle owner owes the CHP a big debt of gratitude for risking their life recovering his car. The best defence is a good offence. Slam on you brakes at the right time and do a reverse pit on the patrol vehicle. Timing is everything. |

Quoted: First off NO I am not planing on running from the PO PO... Was just wondering how difference the PIT maneuver is compared to spinning out on ice or a wet road? Yes. It's a very simple pull away maneuver. Of course, you have to recognize that you are about to be PIT'ed. When I was taught how to PIT, I was also taught the counter maneuver. I assume LEO's get similar training in both maneuvers. |

I was under the impression that when the police performed a PIT that they got the vehicle sideways and then accelerated thru the offenders vehicle. The video posted looks to me like the police tapped the vehicle and then backed off instead of pushing thru. IMHO it is mighty hard to counter steer when your rear axle is passing your front axle.
Keep in mind that I have never performed a PIT nor been on the receiving end of one so I have no experience with them. |
