Wel, I would kind of assume that you wouldn't be driving so close to the beast in the first place that a step sideways would cause a collision!
I've been thinking it through, and I can't see how he wouldn't have seen us, and as she was on a short leash, I don't think she can have moved more than a couple of feet into the road at most, so he really must have been right next to us.
I have this sort of blurry memory of turning and seeing a helmet about an arms length away: if I'd been standing on the other side of the dog, I think he might have hit me instead.
Moral: always stand between dog and road. (I knew this, but I think I'd got careless).
