You can blame Ube for this idea...  *** You're driving down a road at speed, when suddenly you see a tree has fallen across the path. You are going FAR too fast to stop. Swerving right means hitting your best friend, swerving left means hitting the wo/man you love. Keeping straight means hitting the tree at awesome speed... What do you do? Best answer gets to put up the next conundrum  |

You hit the breaks as hard as you can and keep straight.
You don't have the right to choose which life will be taken, so you have to try to do what could be the best option for everyone; trying to save them both by hitting the tree. Rather than sacrificing person for the other, the whole front of the car will get messed up, but hopefully the airbags and seat-belts will do their jobs.
That's how Jedi would do it. ;D

As said, slow down as much as you can, and ensure you're wearing your seat belt (ducking is probably a good idea too, in case of branches)

Either that or try and do a handbreak turn so that the back of the car will be the one that's hit, and hope that the extra space and stuff to go through will save you.
After all, this isn't really a question about saving 1 persons life, rather it's a question about not killing 2 people.

Hit the gas and swerve right. The faster you are going the quicker you'll turn.

You hit the red button and make a leap over the tree.
What? I'm driving the James Bond car! ;D

No, what you're describing is KITT!  James Bond would have a rocket build in to blast away the tree... From driving experience I'd probably try to swerve the car and try to hit the tree with the passenger side. (now which side that is would depend on whether you drove a decent or an English (right hand drive) car... In reality, I think one would not have time to see who is where, and self preservation instincts will probably prevail. And actually, it shouldn't make a difference whether it is a known or unknown person prone to be hit. |

Use a massive banana instead. ;D The banana is a solution for everything. I dunno... just jump out of the car before it hits the tree? Yeah... be prepared for lots of broken bones and bleeding wounds though. |

I'm just learning to drive and my choice would also be, hit the tree and pray for the best but expect the worst.

going at 90 MPH
*pootle pootle pootle*
Oh my god there's a tree *screech* 80... 70... 60... 50... 40... *crash* UGH
or
Oh my god there's a tree *swerve* *crash* Aaarrrgghhh can't see *crash*...
going at 70MPH
*pootle pootle pootle*
Oh my goodness there's a tree *Screech* 60... 50... 40... 30... 20... 10 *crash* Ouch...
Or
Oh my god there's a tree *swerve* *crash* Aaarrrgghhh can't see *crash*...

After all, this isn't really a question about saving 1 persons life, rather it's a question about not killing 2 people. A lot of good answers, but I rather like this one. All yours for the next conundrum, DPR... |

You are on a police raid as an expert investigator and your target is a well known geneticist who has been working on cures for cancer. Your testamony will either free him to continue his work, or jail him and have his work destroyed.
You raid his lab and find his research.
Later while looking through his research, you find that he has completed his research, and has a cure for every type of cancer, but that he did so by experimenting on children that he bought from north korea.
What do you do?
edit : starting a new thread for this...

I know I R Late.
Aber...
I said to Elliot in the chat [thought I would mention it herrrrre] that surely your best friend and the wo/man you love are the same person.
Surely this would mean they couldn't be in two places at once
Therefore you could swerve in one direction...
If this is not the case, do you truly love that person...
Either way, the local council should've cleared the tree up sooner.
