Parking Lot Safety 101: Remembering YOLO when you're flying solo

Listen up!  This isn't just for women.  This isn't just for young new drivers.  This isn't just for those in a rough spot of town.  Regardless of age, gender, or location, situational awareness is key for all humans, and it becomes exponentially more important when getting behind the wheel all by yourself.  It may sound cliche, but it really is better to be safe than sorry. 

You've probably got one of these questions in mind:  How much extra effort is this going to be on my part?  How much will it cost for the latest safety gadget to keep myself safe?  What exactly are you trying to sell me?

You're in luck, dear driver.  This advice is easy, free, and largely common sense.  All you have to do is, well, do it:

Park in well-lit areas as close to the building entrance as possible.  Allow yourself extra time to spend finding a great parking spot-- the time you save by parking far away isn't worth the risk of walking the stretch of the parking lot all by yourself.

Of course, the best kind of safety is preventative!  Make sure your car is up-to-date on all maintenance and service appointments  You can even make an appointment with us online!
