That was one of the jokes my Grandpa would make when I was learning to drive. We would drive by a pedestrian and he would say "You missed them by a mile!"

It's probably just luck. A skilled bus driver would slow down.

You've never been to Latin America, have you? The only thing a bus driver slows down for is a paying customer wanting to get on.

Even if you ARE skilled enough to thread the needle between an oncoming car and a bystander with his back turned to you...

Maybe you just slow down anyway and let the oncoming car pass and DON'T give the bystander a surprise shave?

This bus driver probably defies gravity on a mountain in Ecuador 50 times a day.

Got back from the Dominican awhile back, gave me a heart attack the way people drove. No stopping or slowing just a beautiful hive mind of chaos.

Yeah, once you've managed to drive through La Nariz del Diablo at night without falling into the inky blackness below you become an honorary driver of the Knight Bus.
