I'd best claim 2301 then!

Jerry, I very nearly had a very similar experience, driving home late one night from a folk club. A guy ran out in front of my car on a darkened stretch of road in town. Luckily I was able to swerve and missed him. Also luckily, there wasn't anything coming on the other side of the road.

It really shook me up and I phoned it in to the police when I got home a few minutes later. I found out later from some of my police contacts that the guy had been reported as suicidal and awol by his distraught wife and was picked up a few minutes after I phoned in - they found him by the river, wanting to jump.

I'm all cold just thinking about it again now.

Jerry, I wish your story had a better ending.
