You don't. What you do is invent mathematics so that some observation time beforehand and a good computer enables you to plot routes that let you fly through an asteroid field safely at full speed. Anyone following you is likely to get hit by rocks, unless they're very close to you indeed. This becomes a secret method for evading Imperials.
