How To Avoid A Head-On Collision
“THERE ARE NO ABSOLUTES”
When faced with a head-on collision which way should you go — left/right?

Fortunately, head-on collision avoidance is extremely rare. Unfortunately, there are those who believe the highly emotional (extreme fear) quick reaction technique for escaping a head-on collision can be taught in a classroom setting. Furthermore, there are those who take the position that one should never go left to escape.
Granted, NASCAR drivers (see picture below) have advanced their skill level in quick reaction evasive maneuvers through considerable practice. Even such skilled drivers face poor odds when out of nowhere an opposite direction vehicle is rapidly closing in their lane.

1. Reduce speed — the force of the collision is the combination of the speed of both vehicles.
2. Attempt to reduce the frontal force of the head-on collision by changing your direction of travel to create a glancing blow. “THERE ARE NO ABSOLUTES”
