Very possible. Oh, I forgot to mention in my original comment: If I fail to heed the driver's implied directive, and he or she leans on the horn to get me to comply, I'll start yelling at them that "There's a car coming!!!" and point at the vehicle that would have run me down. I tend to get angry when someone threatens my life by trying to coax or coerce me into doing something stupid. It must be something instinctive.
