There’s something called the emergency doctrine that protects drivers who are faced with sudden and unforeseen circumstances that leaves the driver with little or no time for thought, like a car travelling in the opposite direction that suddenly veers into the driver’s lane.
I'm not sure about anyone else, however if a passenger inside my vehicle initiates an unforeseen circumstance like throwing soda on me, I would not take my hands off the wheel.
