Watch out!

What is with Daycares and people not paying attention in the parking lot. I can't tell you how many times I have almost been hit by another driver, both as a pedestrian and as a driver, in the parking lot of Josie's daycare. This has happened both at the daycare in PA and in MD. It seems like after a parent has either dropped of or picked up their child they just throw the car in reverse and gun it. I am sure I drive people nuts in the parking lot by driving slow and being very careful but I do that more for my own safety then anyone elses. Today I pulled into the parking lot just to have some Ford pull out of his space right in front of me like I wasn't even there. He looked a little embarrassed when he finally looked back, after being more than halfway out of the spot, and saw my CR-V there. Good thing I was going slow. One would think that in a Daycare parking lot you would be extra careful considering there are children running about and no one has a child to spare. So please, no matter what parking lot you are in, be aware that there are other cars about and children can come out of nowhere.
