The most important thing about swerving is to:

  1. Brake and swerve at the same time

  2. Not to brake and swerve at the same time

  3. To close your eyes while swerving

  4. To swerve suddenly without signaling

The correct answer is: Not to brake and swerve at the same time

Swerving is a sudden change in direction to avoid a potential hazard. When swerving, it is important to maintain control of the vehicle, which includes keeping a firm grip on the steering wheel. If you brake and swerve at the same time, you may lose control of the vehicle and potentially cause an accident. Closing your eyes while swerving is also dangerous as you cannot see where you are going and may hit another object. It is important to be aware of your surroundings and make sure to signal when swerving to indicate to other drivers your intended direction. Therefore, the most important thing about swerving is to not brake and swerve at the same time.
