I had something similar happen the first proper ride I went on in the UK, except I was already nearly past the car when it pulled out into the roundabout so no time to rev bomb or anything (they would have probably hit my rear wheel side on). They seemed to suddenly realise and slammed the brakes and just missed me. I've never had anything like that happen on a push bike, does make you feel incredibly vulnerable.
