When walking in public I always let the moving car go. I don't like when they stop for me, just go. I'll be fine when they move and pass by where I am. I'll even slow my walk or pretend to stop before I get to the spot where I anticipate them stopping. Being hit by a car can be a life altering event that I don't want. I try to be aware of everything going on around me when I'm walking. I'm a fast walker in general, but I can slow down and look casual when needed. I can always look at my phone in a safer spot.
