When you're in a parking lot cruising for a space...

..and you come up BEHIND another driver who has their LEFT blinker on to pull into a spot. (Said spot is open) Do you blow past this driver on the left hand side? Or do you wait until they pull into the spot?

I wait, just because there are a lot of stupid drivers out there.

I wait until they turn into the spot. Just common courtesy- my life can be put on hold for a few extra seconds to let someone park.

I wait...not because I'm an overly patient person...but because it would really suck if while I was passing they made a left into my car!

I never cruise looking for a spot! I always park far away Chat Icon

But in the case you described, I would wait. I am sure the person making the left into the spot isn't expecting a car to come up on the left!

I would either wait or pass on the right.

most of the time i'd wait.. but it depends on the width of the aisle and if there is a car in the spot waiting to come out or not.
Sometimes you can see that the car in the parking spot is still packing up so you know they won't be reversing while you go by, and the car waiting won't be turning either

Re: When you're in a parking lot cruising for a space...

Usually I'd wait, but let's say the people are taking forever still packing up their car and there are cars lining up behind me waiting to go too, I would SLOWLY, carefully go around them - definitely wouldn't "blow past" anyone in a parking lot. You just never know.

In parking lots I pass on whatever side they are not turning into (if that makes sense)

If the spot is open I wait if they are waiting for someone to back out, I pull around them.

I wait usually, but if the lane is wide enough and there is no one coming I pass on the right side, not the left.
