what the hell? false.. you downshift successively putting strain on the engine in the case of a runaway car. and if possible, you shove that baby right up against the curb... weaving is also a good technique making you cover more ground than you would in a straight line
and if you by chance have an automatic (y would you though? manual is better in every way!
) you stay in gear and use the e-brake lever along with the e-brake so it doesn't lock up.
