Investigators believe the driver took evasive action while either making a lane change or a vehicle came into the lane the SUV was traveling in, state troopers said.
Our children began learning to drive a few years ago. I have practically forced it down their throats that taking evasive action to avoid colliding with something is always a bad idea at high speeds. I hope, if they are ever in a situation where evasive action is the instinct, they will remember what I have told them over and over again and hold their course.
Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt.

Pretty hard NOT to take evasive action isn't it? Normal reaction is to avoid collision and it must be hard to control that. Not to mention that high speed collisions also have negative consequences. Likely just as bad or worse than avoidance.
Saying it is ALWAYS a bad idea can't possibly be supported.
