I was backing out of a parking spot and someone walks behind me.
Almost as irritating as my G1W-C not keeping the proper date.

Cant live with them, and they get mighty pissed if you start shooting them, and i dont get that as the dumbass numbers is off the scale by now.
I get this all the time. My van has no rear windows, making it especially dumb. (I have a reversing camera, but they don't know that, and it points downwards so I can't see very far behind me.)
I've taken to using hazard lights as I reverse (ever since I realised I only have one reversing light.) Doesn't make much difference, tbh.
Brilliant idea. I was all set to pull the trigger and order some but checked the legal situation and it's a bit of a minefield in the UK. Since it's a company van I better leave it as is.check your local auto parts store and you can get reversing bulbs that have a buzzer built in which will beep while you're reversing
Agree with that, and it gets worse when they are driving in, and out. Sadly, this is the norm for these morons.And there's something about supermarkets that turns shoppers into mindless zombies. It's really depressing to observe their behaviour on a daily basis.
seems to me anything to reduce the company's liability would be a good thing. only reason i could see a beeping backup warning as a problem is perhaps in a residential area, late at night, due to noise ordinances. one of our neighbors had a work truck with one of those beepers, and every morning at 5:30 am he'd wake everyone up simply by leaving for work. thankfully, it was just a rental and he moved out after a couple months, but that sure was annoying. he could have backed into the drive each evening when he got home and then driven straight out in the morning so he wouldn't wake us all up, but that would require forethought and consideration for others.Brilliant idea.

A shame. I park in supermarket car parks many times a day and have to access my rear doors - so that means parking forwards and reversing out. And there's something about supermarkets that turns shoppers into mindless zombies. It's really depressing to observe their behaviour on a daily basis.
That sure would be asking a lothe could have backed into the drive each evening when he got home and then driven straight out in the morning so he wouldn't wake us all up, but that would require forethought and consideration for others.
And to make matters worse, supermarket car park designers put pedestrian walkways behind the parking spots! We have a lot of that around here. If you hit a "zombie" when reversing, you're screwed. Fortunately they avoid the walkways like the plague!I park in supermarket car parks many times a day and have to access my rear doors - so that means parking forwards and reversing out.

Perfect example of that starting at 0:24 of this video -Agree with that, and it gets worse when they are driving in, and out. Sadly, this is the norm for these morons.
Crossing from front in shopping store's parking lot is okay.Perfect example of that starting at 0:24 of this video -
Maybe that's the case in Denver but not everywhere.Crossing from front in shopping store's parking lot is okay.
Actually, the parking lot and those streets in front of stores are considered pedestrian safe and drivers should yield plus the speed is less than 10mph anyways.....
No problem just wanted to make sure I was not needed. Post on good sir.It was a typo.
About as much use as a chocolate teapot.check your local auto parts store and you can get reversing bulbs that have a buzzer built in which will beep while you're reversing
So instead of abiding by actual rules we'll go by what we (each individual) perceive them to be?@DT MI of course the law is there but I was talking about .... perceived rules...
