I just got 'hit' by a car, while while walking (exclude the non-bike related thread) across a petrol station forecourt. I was walking along the left hand edge of a car, on the grass, then stepped down onto the forecourt after clearing the side of a car which was parked along the edge, it was parked up, not filling with petrol. As I stepped onto the tarmac the car moved forward and it's bumper pushed my legs up so that I was sitting on the bonnet. No harm done, but shocked! The driver got out and apologised, saying 'Sorry, but you came out of nowhere'. I must have been moving at about 1mph due to my knee being in bandages, so I was rather taken aback by 'coming out of nowhere'.
Does this equate with 'Sorry I didn't see you?' And if it does, then the whole observation part of ANY road users needs to be re-assessed, surely?
