Staying Safe In A Parking Lot This Winter

It is no surprise that a large number of Connecticut auto accidents occur inside a parking lot. In fact, 14% of all car crashes that cause damage, happen in a parking lot. Here are a few ways to stay safe while maneuvering your way through:

1. 1. Stay alert. Always watch for other cars and people speeding and walking. Avoid two-way lanes where possible.
   2. Be polite. Do not take up 2 spots when you only need one.
   3. Protect your car. Park away from buildings and not on the ends of rows. Stay in a well-lit area at night.
   4. Eyes open. Make sure you can scan the entire field before backing out.
   5. Extra aware at the post office. The post office parking lot has the highest frequency of accidents.
