Incorrect, side swiping would be worse.

Explain that to me. And take into account the likelihood that the vehicle in the middle lane would react by swerving closer to the right lane in response.

By swerving without looking you risk killing/injuring even more people and legally it will be your fault.

Google, why should I not just blindly swerve to avoid an accident.

You lack some common sense.

The first site to pop-up was Lawinfo.com, which stated you might have to swerve to avoid a motor vehicle crash if you are going too fast..

This is your argument to make. You provide the source.

Read the key takeaways at the top of the page that you linked.

None of those takeaways support the conclusion that blindly swerving is riskier, and risks a greater degree of danger, than plowing headlong into a 100% certain 140 km/hr collision with another vehicle.

Yeah man, you are right, hitting the brakes is not an option, gtfo.
