(Unreal condition in the present with an unreal past result)
If I weren't driving slowly, he could have been hurt
(Unreal condition in the present with an unreal past result)
I believe these two are mixed conditionals following the same logic as this sentence which I know to be correct....

I can't get my head around the differences!
