Pay attention while you’re parking<\/h3>\n

Do not be distracted. This is driving 101, but most drivers are distracted while parking! As many as two-thirds (a whopping 66%!) of drivers admitted to being distracted while driving through a parking lot. Statistics show that thousands of car crashes occur in parking lots and garage structures each year.\u00a0 According to the National Safety Council (NSC)<\/a>, car insurance companies report a spike in the number of claims on Black Friday and throughout the holiday shopping season. This does not include the many fender-benders that go unreported.<\/p>\n

With the pressure of holiday shopping and bargain-hunting already on you, the last thing you need is an accident. So, keep your phones away and limit your distractions. Avoid cutting across lanes in parking lots. Be careful while backing your car out of your parking spot and keep an eye out for pedestrians. Keep a reasonable distance from the car in front of you and be extra careful throughout the day. There’ll be plenty of distracted drivers rushing around.<\/p>\n

Tips to park safely during Black Friday Shopping<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Back out slowly and cautiously<\/strong> – Use your backup camera\/sensor if your car has one. If not, you can always depend on your mirrors or just look around before backing out.<\/p>\n

Keep an eye on pedestrians<\/strong> \u2013 Drive slowly while in the parking lot so that you have time to hit the brakes if a pedestrian suddenly steps in front of your vehicle. With all the cars in the lot, you may not see them till the last minute. Be particularly alert for small children or parents with strollers.<\/p>\n

Park away from the doors<\/strong> \u2013 While it might be a bit of a walk if you park farther away from the doors, quicker and easier exit when you’re leaving.<\/p>\n

Be considerate<\/strong> -Make sure you park in the center of your spot so that there’s enough space for others to open their doors. Also, park in a way that does not make it difficult for others to take out their cars.<\/p>\n

Book your parking spot online <\/strong>\u2013 Booking your parking spot online before heading out shopping is a guaranteed way to spare yourself from stress. Sites and apps like Way.com will let you choose your spot from hundreds of options, days, or weeks ahead.<\/p>\n

With so many people looking for Black Friday shopping bargains, you can’t always predict Black Friday traffic. However,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>if<\/span><\/span>\u00a0you remember these tips and take the necessary precaution<\/span><\/span>,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>your Black Friday shopping\u00a0<\/span><\/span>may go a little more smoothly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
