Yes, the driver might be startled and steer erratically.

Reminds me of a joke about the early days of one-person buses.

On the first day of operation there is a terrible crash involving a
double-decker bus, but the [insert racial stereotype] driver is
unharmed.

When the police ask him how the crash happened, he says "I don't know,
I was upstairs collecting the fares".
