part of why i use a mobility device is that i can use it to bang on vehicles and alert them of my presence without kicking/hitting it with my bones, in sitiations just like you describe. a sock full of pool balls would also work.

i have to say tho, as another forced pedestrian, the best thing for my getting around has been getting a recumbent trike.

Pool balls? Like beach balls?

Edit: Billiards balls. Took me way too long.

yeah we got a few kinds of pools balls here. specificity would just be no fun though would it at this point.
