    How are you supposed to make an evasive manoeuvre at all when standing still?

      Move your foot from the brake to the gas and steer out of the way…? Same way you would move for emergency vehicles. Which is another reason to pay attention to the road.

      How is this even a question lmfao.

        You’re not quickly getting your car out of the way of someone else if you’re fully stopped. Most of them don’t accelerate nearly fast enough for that. Besides, pretty sure I would just stall the car if I tried evading someone quickly while probably slightly panicked.

        You don’t do an evasive manoeuvre for emergency vehicles. You should hear and see them coming from quite a distance. You just scoot over in a regular way.
