During an emergency situation, will you steer in the right direction?

A well known survival reaction for street riding is steering the handlebar away from the danger.

That will only cause the bike to turn towards the danger, due to the counter-steering effect.

Well before that emergency moment arrives, frequently practice the following avoiding maneuver:

1) Look into an escape path, turning your head rather than only your eyes.

2) Lean your upper body in the direction (left or right) of your selected escape path.

3) Simultaneously push on that side of the handlebar.
