There is a lot of debate here. Some say trying to relax your body to take the shock is best, others say tense up in a ball.

Its best to tense up mate...that way you will avoid your body being thrown around like a rag doll!

If the car is high enough up and you have enough time you could hit the dirt and hope it doesnt get you. jumping is a bad idea as you will either go through the windshield or break both your legs.

It's best to avoid being hit by a car before you get hit by a car. DA!


bungee
try to minimize the impact every way possible without involving other cars.........


UCANTCME
Hold on to the steering wheel and try and relax somewhat.....


perrinediane
I would say in general slow down and gradually steer away from the other vehicle(s) but every potential accident is different so it would really depend upon the specifics ot the potential accident.
