I think if i'm going to crash (eg unable to stop in time), i'll try to crash with more car body surface as possible to absorb the impact. The small overlap crash seems to focus on the weakest point of the car frame, less structure surface, will high force, the result is high pressure and high damage.

emm.... right, not that easy to use logic to overcome the instinct...
anyway, personally i not quite like to steer into other lane to avoid accident as it might cause motorcyclist or other car in trouble, and prone to lost control. I might just keep the steering straight and brake hard...

wah.. so many vcs believers here, it helps but it wont guarantee the vehicle under control, even r35 also can ramp into tree.

just for example from the video, a bike coming fast behind on the right, the sudden sway of the car cause the motorist airborned and dead, i think i'll rather keeping straight to dent my car (which has good crash test rating) and claim insurance.. just bring up a point la, i don't force anybody to agree with the point...
