Refers to da act of either noticing a hazard or obstruction in your driving-path in sufficient time to evasively yank da steering-wheel, or noticing skid-marks on da pavement/gravel which indicate dat someone else who'd come along da roadway sometime before you had himself been obliged to hastily alter course to avoid hitting something in front of him.
Sometimes icy and/or uneven pavement can be easier to spot and skirt around if you maintain close obswerveation of da road ahead, and look out for abnormally-twisty tire-tracks dat show where previous motorists have recently deviated to circumvent such hazards.
