In this podcast we talk about where you park your vehicle and things you might want to think about. They are easy tips that can make you safer that can become second nature. I thought about this one early morning when I was headed out to my truck parked on the curb. It wasn’t light out yet and I walked out of my house, across the lawn, hit the unlock button on my remote and the headlights came on illuminating me in the darkness. I was half asleep but still realized anyone around could see me clearly and I couldn’t see them. Our cars do great things for us, but they where not programed to keep us safe. We need to use those features to our advantage, and park in a way to take advantage of our vehicle for our self defense.
