I guess she had forgotten she had a steering wheel.

A cyclist going the other way made some amusing comment about the driver, so maybe she has seen it all before, too.

Some will not get over no matter what’s ahead. Good example couple years ago company was taking tree out, had cones out and person stopping traffic due to pull rope across one lane. Somebody ignored all that and ran into rope flipping golf cart.

Then there sun flare angle of view that blocks out. Early morning and late evening when sun low especially bad. done good getting out of harms way. I don’t hesitate to get off MMP or diamond lane even if I have to climb tree, dive in bush, or climb fence. In the OP case unless he was walking side by side (which don’t seem to be case) he was blind sided from rear by some passing on narrow stretch of road.
