Your parking spot could kill you

Don’t park within four parking spaces of a light pole, period. You don’t know what’s happening under the base cover. If you have to park near a pole or sign, park directly under it. The force of impact is multiplied by the distance from the pole base, since the tops likely reach near terminal velocity before they make contact with whatever is in the way. Avoid walking near them, too. There is little noise associated with a falling light or flag pole, so you get no warning.



This could be you. You would literally not know what hit you.

Watch where you park. It could be deadly.
