Thomas, it was a near miss, hopefully both you and the young lady learn something from it
However do you stop and walk around every corner to assess the hazards before driving around it, of course not, you drive to the conditions and risk assess as you go.
Having been in a car many years ago as a passenger when a young child ran across the road from behind a bus, fortunately we stopped in time and only a shook up driver and a frightened child were the outcome. That experiance has lived with me for 50 years, ever expecting someone to step out from behind a bus has been it's consequence. Fortunately I have never hit anyone whom stepped out from behind a bus because of that expectation.
Paul.
