[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 777301, member: 13921"] There ya go. We do have unavoidable HWP. They occur when drivers DO pick a smart place to park and still get hit. An Anoka driver parked in a Qwickie Mart, asked the manager if he was parked in a good spot for his break, manager said, 'no problem.' 30 minutes later, the manager got into his personal vehicle and backed across the lot and into the UPS truck. The driver did everything right and it was ruled unavoidable. About 45% of our crashes are ruled unavoidable. We hardly ever talk about them. Why?? Nothing to learn, they were unavoidable. The theory is that we can learn something by reviewing avoidables. The problem is that too many people confuse fault and avoidability. If a person picks a stupid place to park and gets hit. It does not matter whether they are in the truck or not. It was still a stupid place to park. Maybe if they had parked smarter, they would not have been hit. We are supposed to be better drivers than everyone else. [/QUOTE]
