In a continuous system like racing, there are two more things to consider: prediction and relative motion. Avoiding something you can predict, or avoiding something which is moving much slower than 100+ km/h relative to you, isn't too difficult (I do it all the time on motorbikes and scooters). But this perception can fool you into thinking you have more control than you do - should something really unexpected occur, your reaction time will surprise you by being slower.
