Same! I was driving along a dark 1 lane highway (there’s almost no street lighting in the area I live) and mother and her 4 children were standing in the shoulder lane and I did not see them until they were maybe 10ft away… on a highway where the speed limit it 55mph.

I could not have been more than 2-3 feet from this family. In the pitch black. I had to pull over I was so shaken by how close so many bodies were to my car.
