I don't do anything until I am absolutely sure that the car is not going to move. Even then, you just never know. I just didn't like the way the video made it seem like all you need to do is make eye contact and you are good. Graveyards are full of dead motorcyclists who thought the other guy saw them. One of the things they teach at motorcycle safety classes is don't assume that just because you make eye contact with a motorist that they actually see you.
