Ran over a Parking Stop (curb)

Better question, why were you driving 25 mph in a parking lot? Usually about 10 mph(or less) is how fast most people drive in a parking lot since you have to be able to stop in case someone backs out in front of you or walks out in front of you. That's way too fast which is probably why you clipped the parking block in the first place. Looks like no problem but I'd suggest keeping the speed down in a parking lot. They have to be the most likely place you'll ever have an accident and driving that fast might make it more than just a little ding or someone could get hurt. Too many children and old people who never watch where they're going, serious safety hazard for sure.

I dont think he posted a question about the recommended speed in parking lots. Clearly he made a mistake, I don't think he is claiming otherwise. But I don't think he posted his question on here to get lectured about parking lot driving.

Thank you. Spot on.

I was in an empty area of the lot and took the turn too close (looking at other side of the empty lot for an exit, not at the immediate area in front of the truck.
