Learn to do J-turns and bootleg-turns (180s forward and back).

I took this evasive driving class, and what the police call EVOC training, and you can do amazing things with the e-brake and the right knowledge.

The reverse 180 is the most fun -- just drive in reverse until you hit about 35 mph, then rapidly turn the wheel one way or the other while putting the clutch in. The front end will rotate around while the car maintains its original vector. Then slam it into first and take off!

That'll smoke 'em!
