everyone, please take my advice and, where possible, park in a non-busy section of retail park / supermarket car parks when shopping. okay it doesn't guarantee your car won't get hit, but it's about minimising the risk. yes it's a bit of a pain having to walk a bit further, but when you watch folk driving about these places, SO many of them can't park properly (or simply don't care) that it's best having your car away from the robot war zone.
