I live about half a mile from the main road on an non adopted country lane. It's about a vehicle width wide with passing places and around 15 houses mainly where we are. It is a bridleway and footpath too. Yesterday as I was half way to the road I spied a runner, a young lady as it happens and something wasn't right about the scene and I stopped my car about 20 paces from her as she ran and started veering towards me almost running sideways into the middle of the road! She got the shock of her life when she saw my car and veered back to the side of the road. Luckily I had stopped as if I had been driving I would probably have hit her or had a very near miss.
Of course she had ear buds in and was looking down at her mobile phone. She did jump quite a bit when she finally saw the front of my car. That isn't unusual but that's the nearest one I've had this year! I nearly had a new bonnet mascot! LOL.
