Human Factors
I was taxiing from overflow parking ramp at [the FBO]. It was nighttime. As I was taxiing out I noticed a van coming directly towards me delivering passengers to a departing aircraft. I had all taxi and landing lights on at the time. It became obvious to me that the driver of the van did not see me. I was unable to move left or right due to parked aircraft; so I came to a complete stop. At that point the driver must have seen me from approximately 100 feet away and turned to his right and cleared my left wing by approximately 6 to 8 feet. He appeared to be driving at approximately 10mph. I then continued my taxi.
PC-12 pilot reported coming to a stop on the ramp to avoid a collision with a van that apparently had not seen him.
