To the surprise of no-one, new claims data released by NRMA Insurance this week shows that the frequency of car park collisions increases by nearly 20 percent in December.
In December last year, insurance claims showed that car park collisions accounted for one-in-seven of all collisions, with Thursday and Friday late-night shopping the most common times.
“We recommend drivers obey the parking rules, take it easy when circling the car park for a space and be alert for other drivers," NRMA Insurance spokesperson Emily Gatt said.
“Typical parking collisions involved reversing into other cars, runaway shopping trolleys and scrapes with pylons and poles."
Shopping trolleys too have proven to be an unexpected danger for many, with around 250 claims registered each year for vehicles colliding with trolleys.

There just too many young idiots who think they can drive at any speed they want in car parks. This is where the police should be, booking those wankers and taking their cars away.
This is about insurance claims involving car park collisions. Go vent your hatred of youth elsewhere.
Um, no vented hatred of youth at all, just fact. You seem to take it to heart. Fact is, they cause accidents there due to what I said.
What all supermarkets should have by Law, are the usage of trolleys by coin. That way people put Trolleys were they belong. To many idiots leave their trolleys thrown around and majority find it funny to push into the better looking car besides theirs. If I ever catch someone doing it to my car, I'll throw it in the air onto theirs!
