1. You see a deer standing in the road. * Quick Stop...

2. A cager pulls out at an intersection in front of you. Anticipate he will see you at the last minute and stop meaning you swerve to his front or anticipate he will not see you and swerve to to the rear of his car. * To their rear if possible since it would be more difficult and take more time for them to shift into reverse than for them to just pull forward.

3. If you see a cager when stopped coming up behind you knowing you will be rear ended (slow speed obviously) just allow yourself to be hit or risk accelerating into cross traffic and swerving to avoid other caters by swerving? * Move forward and to the left/right enough to allow them to miss me.

4. On a two lane road a cager swerves into your lane and will hit you head on. Would you swerve to the right into the woods or guard rail, etc. Or would you swerve into his lane that is now vacant BUT he may "wake-up" and return to his own lane, making you hit him hear on in his lane? * Stuff I've read says do NOT go left and into their lane as they may/will wake up and go back into it. Move to the right as far as you can, yet remaining on the roadway.
