Car Accident Notes
June 8th 2009 08:27
When you hit somebody else’s car, leaving a note with your details is the noble thing to do right? Well, apparently not everyone agrees!
Hi, my name is Jack. I accidentally hit your car and someone saw me so I'm pretending to write down my details. Sorry, Jack
Dear person,
I'm sorry I put a dent in your car. I didn't want to, but I did when I tried to park next to you. I am not leaving my information because you chose to use two spaces and I just wanted to park in one. The scratches are because I used a towel that had sand on it to try to clean the dent/paint off. Beaches are fun.
Please look your car over for the dent and scratches and each time you see them, remember not to park in two spaces.
Sorry!!!
Some lady hit your car trying to pull in next to you. I got out of my car & she took off. I jumped back in, tried to follow her to get her license plate # and she sped off quickly and left the parking lot.
Sorry, I tried to help you but I couldn’t get her plate # for you. (over)
She hit it pretty hard on the left back end! 5:25 PM Triad Parking Building March 24th 2009.
By no fault of my own I bumped your car. I feel I am not responsible as your parking job was mediocre at best. Call me to work this out. The damage is minimal from what I can see but there is a scratch on my car that I’m sure you will pay for. Tony.

Automated Car Parks
February 25th 2008 13:46
Automatic multi-storey car parks provide lower building cost per parking slot than conventional car parks as they require less building volume and less ground area.
However, the disadvantage is the cost of the mechanical equipment within the building that is needed to transport cars to the parking spaces. Other costs are usually lower too, for example there is no need for an energy intensive ventilating system, since cars are not driven inside and human cashiers or security personnel may not be needed
