ICBC is reminding holiday shoppers to be especially careful in the upcoming weeks as the shopping season also marks a high season for parking lot accidents.
Across the province in 2017 there were approximately 150,000 crashes in all parking lots, which resulted in 5,400 injuries, and an average of 200 crashes in parking lots tied to malls.
B次元官网网址淐rashes that happen in parking lots arenB次元官网网址檛 usually very serious B次元官网网址� but any kind of crash is a headache for any owner, from the cost of a crash and waiting to get your car repaired,B次元官网网址� said ICBC spokesperson Joanna Linsangan.

Throughout the year, Mayfair Mall saw a total of 130 crashes, with 51 hit-and-runs and six injuries.
Uptown Centre saw 120 accidents, with 24 hit-and-runs and 14 injuries.
Most accidents happen in December, on Fridays and Saturdays between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.
ICBC is reminding drivers to keep an eye out for busy shoppers on foot, and recommends parking farther away from a mall entrance if possible, and to park their cars facing out to limit blind spots.
It also ask drivers not to block traffic as they wait to pick someone up, to pay attention to the directional arrows and stop signs andB次元官网网址� as one fictional ice princess famously sangB次元官网网址� just to B次元官网网址渓et it goB次元官网网址� when it comes to fighting with another driver over a parking spot.
