And joggers! this morning I barely saw a jogger running at dawn in moderate rain in dark clothing. Darwinistic.
This happens easily, especially when it's dark but there are a lot of lights creating relection and glare of the wet roads. People in dark clothing can literally disappear. I was pulling into an alley on my way to the parking garage and I just didn't see an african american guy in a dark coat until he turned his face and started to scream and I saw the whites of his eyes and teeth in the headlights. Luckily I was able to stop about a foot short of him. (I had to stomp on them though) I wasn't going very fast but I'm pretty sure I scared a couple years off his life. There's a very good reason your Mama always bought you those bright yellow raincoats.
