ibcrewin - I am always watching out for Prius drivers but I think this situation has nothing to do with her being a Prius driver. Beemer maybe ... :-)

BTW: I have a front strobe which has, on more than one occasion, helped me avoid this situation. They can see it through shrubs and they are more inclined to stop sooner, rather than roll forward into my path.

You OK? "ENDO" means you fell right?
