now that may sound like semantic nonsense but it is true.

How does one steer a C152 while taxiing?

I was headed bopping down the downhill section of KTTA's single taxiway, when one of the LSA trainees decided that his
fuel was more important than mine. He pulled out heading straight to me. There was only one turn off, and I had about
20 feet to come to a complete stop or we'd have a mess. The old hacker that I am, I decided that using the brakes were
the best way to accomplish the task. I know that it wasn't the right thing to do. I should have cut the engine, jumped
out, and grabbed the tail to drag it to a halt like everyone is taught in groundschool. But I guess I'm just lazy.
