Explanation
Drivers should always be aware of what to do in an emergency situation. If a crash looks possible, turn away from oncoming traffic, even if it means leaving the road. Choose to hit something that will give way, such as brush or shrubs, rather than something hard. Hit something moving in the same direction as you rather than something that is not moving. However, choose to hit something that is not moving rather than something coming straight on. If hitting something is unavoidable, try to make it a glancing blow.
