I wonder whether this is true.  I was always told.... In driver's ed
anyways....that if a car swerved into my lane and if it was between the car
or the tree, take the tree every time.  True, the tree won't really "give"
like the car, but the car has velocity going in the opposite direction and
it will be like getting in a wreck at your speed + most of the speed of the
oncoming car!!!!  Really bad!

Now, hitting a stationary car or the side of anyother car would be
better...true, but how often is this the case.  Plus, do we really want to
kill someone else?

Later,
