Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'trunk' evasive driving technique?

The 'trunk' maneuver, taught by former CIA officer Jason Hanson, involves using the emergency brake instead of the foot brake during a pursuit. This causes an abrupt stop without activating brake lights, leading the pursuer to rear-end the operative's vehicle and become disabled.

When should the 'trunk' maneuver be used?

This technique is presented as a last-resort, life-saving tip for intelligence operatives in high-stakes car chase scenarios where evasion is critical for survival. It is not a standard driving practice.

How does the 'trunk' maneuver disable a pursuer's vehicle?

By using the emergency brake for a sudden stop, the operative catches the pursuer off guard. The resulting rear-end collision typically causes significant damage to the pursuer's vehicle, such as airbag deployment or radiator damage, disabling it.
