I felt kind of sorry for him because the same thing nearly happened to me. Rounding a corner back home which was blind because of bushes on the median strip (have to translate to American here I think, is it "traffic island"?) and suddenly two people materialised out on the road. I swerved hard and must have missed the one girl by like an inch, doing the speed limit of about 35mph. If I'd hit her it would not have been my fault, it's not a place where pedestrians should be.
That said, I don't want to hear this guys gruesome story when he's driving me around.
