Parking Lot Crashes are not Accidents
livery areas during high traffic times. If possible, arrange with the customer to deliver at a time with less congestion. Now, this will not always be possible due to a myriad of reasons, but when it is possible take advantage of the added safety precaution. The idea is to limit risk. Then, of course, one of the most common accidents in a parking lot is the result of backing. The interesting thing about backing accidents that are the result of hitting a fixed or stationary object is that they are always considered preventable. That is, there is nothing a driver can say or do to demonstrate it was not their fault. Unfortunately they happen far more frequently than they should, accounting for about 30% of a fleet’s total annual collisions. How a driver prevents backing accidents is best learned through training. Drivers should always get out and look before backing (and get out and look again and again if you need to – especially on a long back up), use a spotter when available (this too requires some training on how to use a spotter), and take your time – low speeds.
