Is there a term for this? Quick thinking in a crisis.

Is there a term for this? Quick thinking in a crisis.
One day I was coming home for a doctor visit and was proceeding through an intersection near my home. This was the standard intersection, one lane each way with a left turn lane. The light was green for me so I went on through. Just as I got into the intersection a Jaguar made a left and we collided, left headlight to left headlight. 

The thing is, when I saw he was turning, and before we collided, I thought "Well, that's the end of this vehicle." Is there a term for that kind of speed thinking or is it just so mundane it's not worth it's own term?  I've experienced it before, most when I was being shot at.
