A bit simplistic I fear.
This one has happened to me by both taxi and by a private vehicle, both times I just picked myself up and while totally embarrassed about hitting the floor,checked hat I had all my limbs and let them drive off. The passengers have always been panicked and that takes your mind off getting their details... totally natural.
Tons of people don't look what they get out of cars/vans, a post office van nearly got me this morning, had he opened the door two seconds later I would have had no chance what so ever.
So respectfully, "Eyes. Brain. Brakes" Bollox!
