I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. Cars absolutely do jump onto sidewalks and hit pedestrians and cyclists. A curb is nothing to stop a drunk or distracted driver in an SUV.
Early in the pandemic there was a driver who launched their vehicle into a restaurant. And when I say launch, I mean up over an approximately 2 1/2 foot high curb. All the way into the restaurant, the driver was about to put 'er in reverse and back right out again. A quick thinking patron reached into the car, turned the car off, and pulled the keys. Someone described the driver as ‘unusually calm’. So yeah, striking without warning from the shadows seems fair.

Driving into buildings is far more common than it should be
