Speaking from experience, because a tank drive is inherently designed not to go sideways, you pretty much end up in a deadlock with no way to escape if you get shoved into from the side (I think it's referred to as a t-bone, but not sure). It's difficult to break until the defender lets up a bit either unintentionally or to avoid a penalty/ref call.
