Stopped for speeding, she followed exactly the Arkansas
Driver License Study Guide, yet the cop decided to use
the PIT maneuver to cause her to crash.
Government supports the cop, & approved of his actions.
Be careful out there....bad cops are the majority.
The following advice might be useful on how to avoid losing control of your vehicle from a pit maneuver attempt:
"Steer away from the corner of your car he is contacting and accelerate.
A pit maneuver essentially shoves the back of a car into a skid.
Accelerating makes the maneuver more difficult because you are taking away some of the push. Of course your vehicle needs the power to be able do this part. If not, a well executed pit will spin you out.
Steering into the skid in the direction your rear is going stops the car’s rear from moving ahead and swapping ends.
Once the contact is broken, the car will start to correct and the rear will swing back in the opposite direction. At this point you need to quickly steer back in the direction the rear is now swinging.
Staying on the gas and steering in the direction the rear is swinging acts to dampen the fishtail. You might have to do this several times to get the car back on course. Whether your vehicle is front wheel drive, rear wheel drive or all wheel drive made some difference in how the car reacts. Rear wheel drive vehicles, particularly trucks which are light in the rear are a bit more tricky. Letting off the gas slightly as the rear swings helps, but too much will cause the rear end to be even lighter. It’s a pretty delicate play of steering and the right amount of gas pedal. Practice helps.
For someone who has practiced skidding a car around in a slick parking lot or driven on slick country roads, this becomes automatic which is what you really need to recover from a pit maneuver.
Personally, I think skid pad training should be mandatory for all drivers before they can get a drivers license. It would save a lot of lives.
