I read lots of examples using "walk out of" for occasions of getting out of the vehicles as follows from Internet:
"I was walking around, doing nothing, when this guy walked out of the car."
"She walked out of the car and into one of the bathrooms"
"Two men walked out of the car and open the side door in the back of the limo. "
"Last week, I walked out of the car, keys in my hand,...."
"As soon as I walked out of the car and breathed in, I saw......"
However, when I looked up several dictionaries for the meaning of "walk out", all interpreted the term as "to go on strike.", "to leave in protest", "to leave a meeting, performance, etc. suddenly, especially to show your disapproval" or something alike.
My question is: is "get off" the most legitimate and formal use for the occasion of getting out of a vehicle? is "walk out of a car" somewhat slang and "modern"? or I should use "get out of" which is the most legitimate?
Prefer answers with rather profession,TKS.
