metaphoric dilemma

So you are driving along a long and windy road, speeding a little, thinking about where you are going and wanting to be there already.... and suddenly up ahead you see a car stopped in the middle of the road...
You have to make a split second decision...
Do you brake, knowing that its too late to avoid a collision with the car...and your brakes will lock up and you will be out of control...but you may hit the car with less force ?
Do you swerve and hit the side wall knowing you will definitely crash and probably be hurt...but since you don't know if there are people in the other car, this choice means you'll be the one most hurt... hoping you don't bounce and hit the other car anyway.... ?
Do you shut your eyes and keep going and hope like hell a miracle happens and the other car gets out of the way or you just somehow manage to miss it... ?


Its a metaphore...

What would you do?

you react in the most primary way for you whatever that is - is there even time for decision?
