This maneuver should probable be reserved for an advanced rider training course, But lets think about it. How many times in the course of a year do you personally swerve to avoid something in the road? I'll bet I have to avoid something weekly. Pot holes; large bumps, small animals "dead or alive", chunks of debris or something that has fallen off another vehicle. There's a lot of stuff out there to miss and counter steering is an important tool to any riders skills. Better a crash on a closed course than out on the open road where some cager can run over you while your sliding down the road. It should not be a surprise on the test and riders should have time to practice such a maneuver before they have to prove competence. Just my opinion though and I'd love to take the test to see if I measure up.
