Suppose you\'re driving on the interestate at night...
...and you see a guy standing in your lane. For the sake of argument, suppose he's standing just past the crest in a hill. By the time you see him, you have just enough time to swerve to the right(possibly onto the shoulder, possibly farther right than that) or plow right through him. If you swerve, there's a moderate chance that you could lose control of the car causing serious damage or death to you.
In the heat of the moment, do you think instinct would cause you to swerve anyway? Do you think you should swerve? Assume that if you hit him, you won't get injured, but he'll die.
