Some months back I remember reading an article about three drivers at (I believe) one of the Wal-Mart stores here, all within a few yards of one another, backing out of their parking spots. The rear ends of all three cars collided. When things like that happen it pays to be extra watchful when walking near the path of any car.
If only they used the crosswalks...
