My experience, here, is that the parking lots are truly dangerous. People drive in them like they're on a highway. Other people walk down the center of the roadway never watching right and left or being aware there may be a car behind them. Also crossing from a store/restaurant is very dangerous. You have to have your head on a swivle. Backing out.....if you're hit by another car, you will be in the fault of it and not the other way around. However, I thought that once a car backing out is 3/4 of the way out that the other car should stop and let you proceed from your parking spot instead of swerving around you. Never, never, ever assume anything here.
