Lucky miss!

He might of swerved & braked for some hazard in his line that you didn't see because you were looking at your line. For example, rather large stone.

Yes he should of steered around & carried on, avoiding your line. But I remember not long after I got the SV, turned back into my own road, the front wheel caught a large stone. Confronted with one at speed, whilst cranked over, wouldn't be pretty & it'd be time for emergency moves. Personally, I'd be more occupied with avoiding the hazard than I would be worring about where you were.

Harsh, but true.
