Of course not, on a windy day in autumn if you slammed on the brakes or rapidly steered away every time a leaf blew across the road you'd be pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving or be a liability to all other road users.
Humans are very capable of using context to decide threats and are capable of determining whether there is a potential risk without need to slam on the brakes for everything as a first instinct.
