in with the traffic, or against it (which ever makes more
sense at the time).
i used that technique to avoid being flattened by an nypd officer running a red light at about 60 mph on flatbush the other night. i was on my way home from work, had the green, looked to my left as i was entering the intersection and had to make a quick 90 degree turn to the left to avoid the man in blue. no sirens, lights...he didn't even turn his head.
