When you have a scene in the middle of a [[Chase Scene|heated chase]] where one character is trying to escape another, and their pursuer's car is just feet behind them, there's a tried-and-true tactic that sits near the top of the list of chase-breaking manuevers: the party (or parties) being pursued suddenly slams on the brakes, causing the pursuer to run into him. This is called a '''"Ram by Braking."''' Ideally this is done so that the pursuer has little to no time to change their course; the purpose of the resulting crash is to give whoever's being pursued time to escape, as being rear-ended isn't nearly as hazardous to their momentum as ramming into the back of the car is to the pursuer.
A variation on this exists where the pursued driver doesn't let the other car slam
