Safest way to walk back to your car in a parking lot !

Yup, I found out the safest way to walk down is dead center.

After being hit once is all I need (yesterday at Albertsons in Union Landing). Man that hurts alot when you get smacked with a slow tap of the bumper and your leg is planted on the asphalt, nearly took my knee out. I am okay no one is being sued.

So next time you walk back to your car, be very alert and walk dead center to give you room to react.

brandon...you can hang out anytime as long as it is Saturday..lol.. (i am there)

I just got checked and all is good. I got hit behind the knee, right when I saw her (reverse lights) backing up, my reflexes made me turn away and thus behind the knee but my foot was planted on the asphalt and did not move. Who backs up without looking before moving anyways ! duh !!!

I can just imagine being hit on the side, that would dislocate the knee joint and bye bye golf, driving, begging my wife LMAO and working on cars. Man that would svck big time.

be safe out there

Hey Gino, glad to hear you're alright. It's a good thing you got yourself checked out. One of these Saturdays I may stop by and hang out and show off the new STI that I'd been dying to get, and now finally have.

that sucks man, glad you made it out alive. Most people don't seem to know how to drive at all these days. It is absolutely obnoxious.
