a) collide head-on with the car which has swerved into your lane, killing yourself, the driver of the other car, and your step-son, along with any passengers which might be in the other car.
b) swerve right and kill the cyclist.
I would prefer a believable scenario (as I do not believe a word from the now imprisoned Oregon driver) but given these circumstances, I choose "C." Swerve left into the vacated lane.
Forced to live with the choices at hand, I stay in my lane. I did not commit the offense.
