I find that I am surprised in that environment more often than any other. SUVs can block you from seeing someone. Putting bags into the car can distract you. Tinted windows at night can make it difficult to see people in cars. Thanks in advance for your suggestions & experience.
I usually park away from other vehicles giving me a clear view when returning. This also helps when loading my purchases into the vehicle, I also scan the area until I'm ready to pull away. It's easy to be distracted in a parking lot.....stay alert!!
