What if you swerve to miss a cyclist and hit a small child? That seems worse than killing the cyclist.

What if you drive safely so you don't have to swerve to avoid the small child?

Accidents happen, just because you find yourself in a situation that requires you to swerve does not mean you were driving unsafe. Why does swerving imply the driver is unsafe? Surely you can imagine a safe driver having to swerve in some situations, right?

I'm curious, what situations are you imagining, that swerving a moving car is the safe move? Like, that's ridiculous.

I did not say the swerve was safe, I said that a even safe driver (driver who drives defensively) driver might have to swerve. Any unplanned reactionary movement of the steering is of course not safe. Seems like you misread what I typed, or maybe you're a natural gaslighter?
