DAMMIT! Ugh, this is my worst nightmare, after deer. I hope you are uninjured.

I don't know how much it helps, but this is why I pull up over to the far left of the lane when I stop, to put me directly in front of the driver's line of sight. I think the basic problem is that most people drive on remote control, letting their subconscious pilot their vehicle, and their brains' pattern recognition systems are looking for cars and they literally don't "see" us sitting there.

JUST DAMMIT! Sorry for your loss. So upsetting.
