During a Chase Scene, this happens when the pursued suddenly brakes in order to make the pursuer run into them. Most of the time, it works if the vehicle being pursued is larger than the one following it, as the pursuer may not react fast enough and would end up being injured in the process. A variation on this is Dodge by Braking where the pursued driver doesn't let the other car slam in; he just brakes and lets the other vehicle speed by, meanwhile turning around and going back the way he came. |

Used as a feint in The Eiger Sanction. The protagonist is being pursued by another vehicle on a dirt road, kicking up a huge cloud of dust. He turns on the brake lights to make them think he's attempting this trope, putting some distance between them when they slam on the brakes to avoid a collision. | |

One of the many, many ways Tim's Redbird gets damaged in Robin is by him pulling in front of an escaping villain in a van and hitting the brakes. | |

Storm Hawks: In episode 2, the Condor, The Storm Hawks' carrier ship, is tailed by the Raptors. Stork brakes and lets them collide with the back of the ship. In episode 31, Aerrow is chased by Hoerk at one point. He brakes, clipping Hoerk's skimmer with his own and sending him spinning out of control. In episode 49, when Finn is on Marge's ship and they're being attacked by Talons, Marge pulls on the brake once the Talons are behind them, causing their skimmers to collide with the much larger airship. |

The 2008 remake of Knight Rider uses this in a car chase with villains who are trying to hack into KITT's OS. When Michael swings around and forces a crash, KITT's Nanomachines absorb the impact for the heroes — but the villains are rendered unconscious or worse. Metal Gear would be proud. | |

In Case Closed, a variant is used to disable a car full of bad guys holding a man hostage: they box him in, and then the car in the front slams on the breaks, causing the bad guys inside to lose their grip on the hostage and allowing the police to move in and arrest them all without causing too much harm on said hostage. | |

The Executioner. In "Death Squad", the eponymous vigilante squad are tailing a Mafia vehicle convoy, and soon become aware that both plainclothes police and a carload of Mafia gunmen are tailing the convoy, waiting to ambush Mack Bolan if he attacks. Using radio Bolan coordinates their vehicles to maneuver the Mafia car directly in front of the police car, then has the vehicle in front of them pull this trope so the police and Mafia cars smash into each other. | |

In Big L's "Casualties of A Dice Game", when being chased by some guys he won money from in the titular dice game, L pulls this to end the chase - it works and he manages to kill his pursuers, but he's also severely injured in the process and dies when he doesn't get to the hospital in time. | |

Speed uses a variation: in order to jump from the car he's driving (which he's in via Flashed-Badge Hijack) into the bus, Keanu Reeves opens the door, slams on the brakes, and lets the bus take the door off. | |

The Longest Yard has this in the remake, where Paul Crewe is driving his soon-to-be-ex girlfriend's stolen car and leading the police in a high-speed chase. When he gets a call from his ex who threatens him and tells him she's watching, he suddenly slams on the brakes, causing every single pursuing cop car to smash into it, utterly destroying it. He caps it with this line. | |

In the early Star Wars Legends novel Han Solo at Star's End, Han pulls this off in a spaceship. The Millennium Falcon is temporarily attached to a gigantic freight barge (normally a strictly robot-controlled vessel) but a pursuing dreadnought has managed to lock on with a Tractor Beam. Han dumps the barge's cargo of grain into the warship's Tractor Beam (temporarily blinding the warship's sensors), activates the barge's retrothrusters, and then blasts the Falcon loose. The battlewagon collides with the barge (slicing the barge in half while the dreadnought also takes considerable damage) while the Falcon successfully speeds away. | |
