Most people understand the dangers of high-speed collisions and have seen the serious consequences of high-speed accidents. What many people do not consider is the frequency of accidents that occur in parking lots and other areas that feature relatively low-speeds. Although parking lots may seem safe, serious injuries and property damage can occur in the event of a collision.

It is important to understand that parking lots can be just as dangerous as highways and streets, so drivers and pedestrians should exercise caution at all times. By practicing safe driving techniques, keeping your driving record clean, and taking advantage of good-driver discounts, you may find it easier to find affordable insurance coverage for your vehicles.
