Question 16

Eejit101 was planking in the middle of a busy road in close proximity to a light pole. He was dressed completely in black, from head to toe, including body paint to cover what his clothes could not. All of the street lights in the area were out because of a recent lightning strike. It was cloudy and the moon could not be seen. Suddenly, a car with no headlights began to drive his way, but swerved just in time to miss him. How could the driver have seen Eejit101 in time to swerve and miss him?
