It sounded like he was a bit afraid. It's ENTIRELY possible that he was braking left because he thought it was coming from the right, and accidentally strayed right into the beam. In the first two seconds of the slow motion sequence, it looks like it's missing Cipher entirely, and considering that only when he banked left did he get hit, I think it was an accident that he was shot down. And plus, in the fight right after that, Pixy taunts Cipher. He might have been taunting them with the laser, and PJ strayed into the beam by accident.
