How it plays
Swerve is a defense, not an attack — you never open a Drive with it. You hold it in hand, and the moment a The Road Itself attack is declared against you, you play it and the attack does nothing.
When to use it
A Save answers its own colour only, so Swerve is dead weight against anything that is not The Road Itself, and a hand with no The Road Itself Save cannot refuse a The Road Itself Hazard. There is also a risk in playing one at all: the moment a Save goes down, any driver other than the one who played it, holding three or more cards, may flip the top face-down Trap — and if that Trap is a The Road Itself one, the Save is wrecked and the Hazard lands anyway.
