Default Hitting me, or hitting ON me?

I'm stopped at this traffic light. Lots of slow traffic. Behind me, a Lancia with two cute girls on board closes slowly. Slower and closer, slower and closer... slower and too clo... TAP.
It barely touches me. A tap on the rear tire, no more.
I couldn't determine if it'd hit the tire or the fender, so I park near the curb and have a look at the fender. No damage whatsoever. The girls park right behind me, pulling out of the flux, while the light goes green again. The glossy black bumper of the Lancia has not a scratch. They were inching forward, after all. I say "no problem" and gesture that all's well. The cute brunette who drives says something like "You sure?". I say "yes", and saddle up to go again.
Now: since they couldn't have missed me, did they
A) misestimate the distance so little to touch me without actually hitting.
B) Inch forward to touch the biker hoping for an exchange of phone numbers (and it was worth, believe me) hoping to show me how they were SOOOO sorry?

Nope, just two girls. And in Italy you dion't get to drive a car till 18. They were definitely more like 22, maybe 25

Yes, I know, I'm a dork. Should have caught the opportunity while I had it

NO DOUBT, here, they were just practicing for the day they pull up behind a red white and blue panhead chopper.
It was YOU, 99, and you blew it instead of letting them. Just sayin', Sir.
Glad (?) you're ok, but then after missing the opportunity, not sure you are OK.

Hind sight is 20/20. No telling where the exchange of numbers could have lead.
