But you didn't say you are an impaired driver and may miss seeing the walker. You said if you see a walker they better get out of your way. It was pretty clear, that no matter your ability, you would not give way to a walker because you feel entitled to the path and if you hit the walker that's on them. That's what you meant no matter if you backtrack now.
No, she clearly stated in her explanation later that she would not hit the walker. And I believe her.
