close call
well, going through the parking lot last night taking my time and here comes this clown from the right who just turns right in front of me without even looking. missed him by about 5ft from the drivers side door! gave him quite the earful. wife wasn't too thrilled either knowing that I am getting ready to go on a 3-4 week ROADTRIP! sure have to pay attention.

Yep there are ******** around every corner and in every parking lot!
I see them almost daily, talking on cell phones, piling on the brakes for no apparent reason.
They're out there folks, be aware!

Never assume they'll see you or do right even if they do see you. Assume they'll do something unexpected. They can be REAL creative with their antics. Parking lots are about the worst around here, as there seems to be no rules.
Glad that no contact was made.

5 ft ? That's all kinds of room compared to what I am used to driving across Houston every day. 
Parking lots are definitely one of the scariest places to be on a bike. As previously stated, head on a swivel. You have to be 100% focused and aware of the idiots around you as soon as you even think about pulling into one.

People lose their brains in parking lots. 3 close calls the other day all involved jackasses driving quad cab, 8' bed pick ups. Their toys are way too big for some of them
