I Wasn't Skeered

[theoldprof]

All the time I was driving, I don't ever remember being concerned for my safety. I don't mean in the ice and snow, I mean while parked and sleeping. I always had my phone close at hand and had written down the address of the particular location I was parked in. Has anyone else had any safety concerns or suggestions?

Only thing I was skeered about was being blocked in by the morning workforce. Parking on the street in Queens is a dangerous thing.

Yep, If you don't park at the end of the block, or, next to a no parking zone, it'll happen every time.

Kinda like being "stuck in a Truck" I guess.

[Tennesseahawk]

Yeah... guess it could be like getting stuck in a truck. :7

Hawk mentioned something about parking on the street in Queens. Parking with a Queen on the street is also hazardous. (so I've heard)

So is parking with a queen on the drag. Or is it parking with a drag queen? :7

I have nightmares about retired folks in their 50 foot RV's backing over me while I am sleeping. They drive from up north to the south and back again once in a year. Not much driving time over the course of two trips. Somehow that makes them professional drivers. Not!

One time I was at the "J" (Exit 2 on I-65) and parked in well lighted area with my THREE ORANGE CONES strategically placed in an arc pattern about 4-5 feet behind the van. Upon awaking in the morning I found the middle one, the point cone, had been run over.

Well I always keep the phone next to me, but I always try to get the corner parking spot under the parking lot light. Plus if I idle my van I keep the marker lights on.

I always tried to get the parking spot under the light and next to the grass island at Wally World.

Does being held up at knife point, by two thugs, in your own motel room, qualify? If so then I was scared.

Holy Sh.....

Tell me more

I work for a smaller company who doesn't use QC's. Whenever I pull off to rest I send a text message to my wife's phone with my location. At least if something ever happens they will have some idea of where to start looking.
