By necessity of what? I think that you're vastly oversimplifying the options one has available in the cliff situation in order to present a false dichotomy (that has clearly convinced you of something). Perhaps I "choose" to turn right but my tire pops and i fly into the ravine anyway? If all (causal) roads lead to the ravine, does that mean that I didn't at least -make the choice- not to end in the ravine..despite my inability to actualize that? I think that you might find that in any situation where we consider whether or not a choice is made some point of reference has been chosen as the mark, the metric. Meanwhile, why are we determining that causality would force one or the other? Can't it be a floating range of probabilities...altering constantly? I don't actually put much weight in free will - especially as you've described what it must necessarily be, just to be upfront.
