Yeah, I’ve seen people ruin an entire side of their vehicle because they didn’t know how to get out of a situation once they got into it. Not pretty. But it IS better hitting a traffic control device than another person, tho. Seems like they’d have to be cutting through a parking area to hit that WalMart one to me… but I haven’t visited 🙄

That type of balustrade is too low to be obvious from inside a typical vehicle, esp when driven by a a distracted person… they always have them around gas pumps, and I can’t remember how many people hit them while I was working at one, but it was a lot! Pay attention drivers, they are there to keep you from damaging more important property than your own vehicle- like pedestrians, gas pumps, or other parked cars…

Getting into the trades here is kind of a crap-shoot… You never know whether you will work for someone responsible and organized or whether you will be treated as just a casual laborer with no hope of advancement or even the most basic training about anything. (From experience) Edit - a formal program would be a better bet for success

My theory is that all of the backlit/digital dashboards in cars these days make people clueless as to when headlights are needed. I See so many people driving around without lights on now - or just DRL’s, which don’t do anything for the rest of the vehicle… (whatever happened to those, anyhow?). They could easily put a photo sensor on a vehicle - that would solve the problem.
