Exactly. If you have a top-heavy vehicle, the chances of it rolling as the driver overcorrects increases, but it's still not automatic. A good enough driver might be able to even keep a semi upright.

If the car is a manual transmission, it will most likely stall out in this manuver, which doesn't accomplish the exact same thing, but it does put the other guy at a disadvantage. At least all the manuals that I did this with last week did, but maybe that's because they were Mazdas.
