he managed to run it out of diesel and now can't get it restarted. -sigh-
A move I was recently taught and is one that police in some countries apparently use is, if the car has the time and room to move, you get right on their ass and as far last as possible, so they definitely see you in their left rear view mirror. If nothing happens, you drop back to a safe distance and try again when the next opportunity arises. Shouldn't take more than 2, 3 tries. Unless it's another brake checker.
