Oldsmobile 1995 88 Owner's Manual page 169

Your Oldsmobile can perform very well in emergencies
like these. First apply your brakes. It is better to remove
as much speed as you can from a possible collision.
Then steer around the problem, to the left or right
depending on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended 9 and 3 o'clock positions, you can
turn it a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and
just as quickly straighten the wheel once you have
avoided the object.

The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.
