Can you pull people out of their cars without getting in

watch-dogs

In Watch Dogs, when approaching a car, there is a command to enter the vehicle by pressing triangle. Then the protagonist pulls out the driver and gets into the car himself.

I have recently been invaded, spotted the hacker hiding in a car and wanted to pull him out before his engine started, which worked, but then I started driving myself and the invader had enough time to get into another vehicle.

Is there a way to pull out the driver but not enter the vehicle yourself?

Best Answer

There is no way to stop yourself from getting in the car when stealing it from a civilian. I can't 100% confirm that it is the case with online players, but I would assume that they are treated same way as civilians.
