Safe Parking
Car parking seems simple, but it often results in fender-bender incidents, and sometimes serious accidents. Parking can be difficult in crowded lots and streets, but it can be done in a safe manner by following certain tips.
When parking on the street
| • Choose an area that is well-lit, busy and ideally monitored by CCTV, as this is an ideal deterrent for potential attackers. • Do not leave you valuable things visible in the car. • Put your children in the car from the pavement side. |
When parking in a car park
| • Try and choose one that is well lit with security patrols, restricted entry and exit points. • Always check closing times. • Do not leave your valuable things visible in the car. • Try and park close to the lift or stairs as more people will be passing by. • Reverse into the parking space so you can get out quickly if you need to; through the windscreen you’ll also be able to see people approaching your car. • Avoid parking next to side-opening, high vans; if one is parked next to your driver’s door when you come back, get into your car through the passenger door. |
When you return to your car
| • Check around your car and also check the back seats for intruders before you get in. • Get in as quickly as possible especially if it’s dark and lock the doors if you don’t feel safe. • In winter, keep a can of de-icer and a scraper in your car so you don’t have to spend unnecessary time out of your car scraping the windows. |
