The Precision Immobilization Technique is a law enforcement driving tactic used to end vehicular pursuits. The pursuing driver aligns their front bumper with the rear quarter panel of the fleeing target, makes physical contact, and steers sharply into the target. This breaks the rear tires' traction, forcing the fleeing vehicle to spin out and stall.
