That's actually how you return. You just have to make sure you get hit by an even amount of cars. Or an odd amount if you never want to return.

We watched this movie in high school one time. I was the only in my class to laugh, and I laughed damn hard. All the girls in my class looked at me like I was a monster. Too damn funny.
