I always flash the brakes... gove them a chance to back off... if that
doesn't work, I jus take my foot off the gas and slow down... when I am
15-20 UNDER the speed limit and they STILL haven't gone around (This is
assumingI can't get over) I floor it and open a big gap...... Rinse, lather,
repeat as necessary....
