So, if the car is going to hit you, where do you go? I guess you could try to hop the curb.

By the time I knew the car was going to hit me, at the speed they're closing on me, I wouldn't have time to jump the curb. I guess I could proactively jump the curb for every close pass, but that would be a lot of wheel repairs and since I've never been hit, they would have all been for naught.
