I was taught, no matter what the target, don't suddenly swerve. In
heavy traffic swerving can cause more problems than it solves.

Like flying, I was taught to always have an out. In most cases, this is an
entire lane (left or right non-movement lanes). In the middle lane, or no
shoulder construction zones, or snowbanks, add extra following space - no
tailgating!

At any given moment, you must know whether you can go right or left. If you
can't do either, then you need to make an adjustment so that you can, or
there is plenty of room in front. Try it; it can be exhausting if overdone,
but it's good practice.
