Show answer

Correct answer to question 363 (General Knowledge): Check for an escape path, brake as hard as safely possible, and steer around if stopping in time is not possible

Why

Checking for an open path while braking hard gives you the option to steer around the obstacle if stopping fully in time is not possible, rather than assuming the hazard will resolve itself.
