The PIT maneuver (Pursuit Intervention Technique) is a pursuit tactic used by police to stop a fleeing vehicle. It involves the police vehicle driving alongside the fleeing vehicle and then sharply turning into it, causing the fleeing vehicle to spin out and stop. This maneuver demonstrates Newton's First Law of Motion, which states that an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. In this case, the external force is the police vehicle, which applies a force to the fleeing vehicle, causing it to spin out and stop.
