so today i nearly crashed and seeing i have only passed my driving test 10 months ago, i was pretty scared afterwards...
so im at a red light and once it turns green i turn right and up the road to get home today. about 30 meters on there is a junction on my left onto a small street.
I see a yellow car or sorts come up to the junction and stop as im heading towards him. i have right of way so i dont have to let him out....
i also notice a young child on a push bike and a car behind him coming down the hill on the other side of the road.the young child on his push bike slowly crosses over to my side, the wrong side of the road to travel down.
now as im wondering if he will make it onto the pavement before i get to him the yellow car jumps out onto the main road from the minor road and then slams his break... blocking my whole lane.
out of reaction i serve right onto the wrong side of the road to avoid the yellow car, then i serve back left to avoid the car coming down the hill all the while not hitting the kid who manages to get onto the pavement before i get to him....
now thinking back to it, if i tried to break, i would have hit the yellow car anyway side on.... the car behind me would have hit me because he only manages to stop about a meter or so from hitting the yellow car after i moved out the way... but of course thinking back if i hit the car coming down the hill... it would have been my fault or if i hit the child that would have been a really sticky situation for me 
so for those who have been driving longer then me... is my driving bad... and did i make the right decision?
im still scared and its been like an hour after hehe

I wouldnt say your a bad driver for doing that, seems like the only option, im guessing you would of hit the drivers side of the yellow car? You didnt really have an option. Were you speeding at all?
yes i would have hit his driver side and i wasnt going fast enough to be speeding. my little car cant go really fast up hills hehe

Golden rule of driving, never ever swerve to avoid an accident, always apply your brakes only and if a collision happens then it happens, if you swerve and hit someone who was not involved then you get in trouble with the police and your insurance, and the guy that pulled in front of you will just drive off scot free.
yeah thats the main reason why im abit iffy about what i did, could have went completely wrong and messed up. but i saw the car on its way down the road so i more or less knew what was around me tbh
