1995 Oldsmobile 88 Owner's Manual - Page 169

Your Oldsmobile can perform very wellin emergencies like these. First apply your brakes. It is better to remove as much speed as you can from a possible collision. Then steer around the problem, to the left or right depending on the space available. An emergency like this requires close attention and a quick decision. If you are holding the steering wheel at the recommended 9 and 3 o'clock positions, you can turn it a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and just as quickly straighten wheel once you have the avoided the object. I The fact that such emergency situations are always possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving at all times and wear safety belts properly. 4-11
