Driving in parking lots
Today hubby and I had to go to the bank and then grocery shopping and we were nearly hit by cars in both parking lots; the first time we were leaving the lot and a driver just pulling out of a space nearly hit us, the second time a driver trying to pull into the next lane of stalls nearly hit us...we were in the main thoroughfare both times.
I don't recall from drivers ed or rereading my driving manual to renew my license...are there rules to driving in parking lots? I guess I've always assumed that drivers in the main thoroughfares had right of way, and drivers in the parking stall lanes should wait for the drivers in the thoroughfares. Both times the drivers were driving like a bat out of hell...parking lots aren't freeways...speeding in them isn't too smart.
Anyone know if there are rules about this, or should I just chalk both cases up to driver stupidity?
