On a two-lane road, an oncoming car drifts into your lane. You cannot stop in time. Which way should you steer?
On a two-lane road, opposing silver B has drifted into blue A’s lane. The card states that A cannot stop in time. No steering path or selected escape position is shown.
Correct answer: To the right, toward the shoulder, and off the road if you must
Why
Head-on crashes are more likely to kill than any other type, so slowing down matters: it reduces the force of the impact and gives the other driver time to recover. The other driver may be impaired or distracted. Be ready to drive completely off the road on the right if you must.
