The Evasive Maneuver

One of the things I find interesting about this exercise is that as the student, I KNOW the command is coming. My every sense is attuned to the fact that I am going to have to go either left or right and I mentally focus on getting ready to execute the command. I don't know what better way we could simulate an actual "real world" style emergency event without excess risk, but a more appropriate test would be something along the lines of: Have the student be awake for a night shift, about 11.5 into the shift, with hours of no calls, in the rain, after having to go to court during the prior day. Then have a semi-hot call come out requiring a higher speed response, but not necessarily code 3. Then, while they are enroute, throw a dummy out in the road in front of them.
