Use of Let's when there's no hearer
According to the books I've read, let's is used to make a suggestion about something you and someone else could do together.
However, I wonder if there's only the speaker without a hearer, can it still be used that way?
For example: Something exciting is happening ahead of me on the road. Can I say to myself: 'Let's hurry and see'?
If not, then what is the similar expression that should be used in such a situation?
Thank you very much
