Say you instantly spot a hazard in front of you, realize there's no time to stop, spin the wheel to the left. You could easily find yourself over there on the passenger side of the vehicle. Your best survival bet is to remain behind the wheel where you have some chance of controlling the vehicle. Make your passengers buckle down too. Passengers flying around inside your car can kill you as well as themselves.
Most accidents involve two or more vehicles.
Don't tailgate and don't let anyone tailgate you. There is a very simple way to deal with someone tailgating you, and it's not to step on the brakes or speed up or send the guy a digital message. Just slow down. Take your foot off the gas and gradually slow down. If someone insists on shoving their hood ornament up your tail feathers, you're much better off having this go on at 20 mph than 80 mph.
