Black Friday Parking Lot Chaos
Ever faced a Black Friday parking lot and felt like you were entering a survival challenge? 🛒🚦 You’re not alone—new drivers in Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, Delta, and beyond know the struggle is real!
Here’s how to turn parking chaos into real-world road test prep:
✦ Slow down and scan! Treat every busy lot like a mini driving lesson. Keep your speed low, hands ready, and eyes on the lookout for unpredictable carts, pedestrians, and drivers who skip shoulder checks.
- Signal early for spaces. Your blinker is your best friend when parking gets wild. Signal before you turn, so everyone—drivers and walkers—knows what you’re up to. It’s a habit that ICBC approved examiners want to see!
⭐ Choose safety over the “perfect” spot. Skip those tight squeezes between SUVs if they stress you out. Go for visibility and space, even if it means a longer walk. Smart decisions count way more than snagging a front row spot.
- Back in if you can. It’s usually safer and gives you a clear view when leaving, especially with fast-moving cars and shoppers everywhere. Take your time and make a habit of backing in when possible.
✦ Before moving, do a 360° check. Mirrors, shoulders, corners—look everywhere before you pull out. One last scan can prevent surprises!
Black Friday parking doesn’t have to be scary. It’s actually a great chance to sharpen your driving lessons and build confidence for your next road test.
