Filtering on the inside of queued cars last night, thankfully at appropriate speed, when woman pedestrian walks out from between the cars without looking.
Hit the brakes, started uttering "Shiiiiii...." and prepare for what is a guaranteed collision. She then contorts her body one way, prompting me and the bike to do the same the other way and we miss each other by millimeters.
Big relief all round. I yelled back a thanks for her excellent reactions. Hopefully she will check next time before stepping out.
