It depends.
If the speeding vehicle is a flimsy little motor tricycle, and I am in a robust and heavy vehicle, I probably would place my vehicle in the path of the speeding motor tricycle.
If the speeding vehicle is a 18 wheel semi, and I am in a econobox, I probably won’t.
I guess I am not ultruistic enough to accept certain death just to save one other life.
But I f by letting myself get run over and very likely die, I think I have a good chance of deflecting the semi from a parked jumbo jet full of people, and I know for a fact majority of them would vote against trump, then I probably will try to do so even if I remembered doing so would likely result in my own death.
If one the other hand, I know most of them will vote for trump, I will even more gladly sacrifice my life by jumping onto the semi and making sure it does not miss.
