It isn't what you can do at that point, that's the problem with riding a bike.

Before I even got back into riding about two years ago, I had it drilled into my head that everything is always my fault because, as a biker, I'd be the one to suffer the brunt of the consequences. When I'm in a car, I always have the "their fault" mentality. On the bike, I look at it everything as my fault if it gets to the point of near danger, which I should have predicted and avoided. There's no comfort in being not at fault if you're dead. Some drunk crossing the center line maybe at fault, but he'll likely still be alive.
