Yet in high speed driving school (i.e., Bondurant) they teach you to
swerve
BEHIND a car coming across your path. Most drivers will just slam on the
brakes. In fact, in most every situation the vast majority of drivers will
just slam on the brakes rather than maneuver out of the way. It's the
hardest habit the driving instructors have to break (pardon the pun).


IF the other driver slams on his brakes, doesn't that adversely influence
the
success of the reccomended (turn behind traffic) maneuver?

Only if he can stop in one car length. In the unlikely event he could, at
worst you sideswipe him(her, more likely :~ ) rather than T-bone them.
