When an obstacle appears suddenly and there is not enough room to stop, what may be the better choice?
- A.Always keep braking no matter the distance
- B.Swerve around it if there is a clear escape path
- C.Close your eyes and stay relaxed
- D.Speed up directly toward it
Correct answer
B. Swerve around it if there is a clear escape path
Why
At higher speeds a swerve can change your path more quickly than stopping can, provided an escape path is clear. Decide based on speed and distance, and do not brake while swerving.
