Avoiding a Collision

When something breaks or a crash is unavoidable: what to do in the moment, and what the law requires after.

What this lesson covers
  • List the three basic ways to avoid an imminent collision: stop, steer away, speed up
  • Explain why steering can sometimes avoid a hazard that braking cannot
  • Recognize when speeding up — rather than braking — is the safer option
  • Choose the least damaging path when a collision can't be fully avoided
