Questions & Answers about เขา ขับ รถ เฉียด ต้นไม้ และ หนี รอด มา อย่าง หวุดหวิด

How does รอด function after หนี in this sentence?
รอด (to survive) acts as a resultative verb here. While หนี just means to flee or try to escape, adding รอด shows the result of that attempt was successful. So หนีรอด means managed to escape safely.
Why is the word มา (to come) added after หนีรอด?
มา acts as a directional particle here. It indicates moving away from the danger and arriving into a current state of safety. It gives the feeling of making it out and arriving safely back to the speaker's frame of reference.
Both เฉียด and หวุดหวิด relate to closeness or narrowness. What is the difference in how they are used here?
เฉียด acts as an action verb meaning to graze, skim, or physically pass very close to (he drove grazing the tree). หวุดหวิด is used in the adverbial phrase อย่างหวุดหวิด to describe the manner of the entire escape, meaning by a hair or by the skin of his teeth.
Could we drop รอด and just say หนีมา?
You could, but it changes the nuance. หนีมา just means he fled here. It lacks the strong emphasis on survival and successfully overcoming a deadly situation. Since he almost crashed into a tree, รอด is crucial to highlight that he got through it alive.
