Just personal preferences and priorities... I actually prefer hotels little bit out of town - you can find real gems!

Overall, I can't remember EVER staying in hotel where I had to pay for hotel parking, I have stayed in few hotels where they did not have parking at all and parked car in public car park - yes that happened! But never hotel where they charge for parking. And they were never too remote, too expensive (value for money is kind of my thing) or bad in any shape or form in comparison.

I cannot say I lose sleep over it - I am driving to the hotel I usually just check where I am going to park or if hotel advises anything about car parking. In my experience most of the time it is FREE on site parking, but in few occasions I found hotel which does not have parking, in which case I just look for alternatives and usually find another hotel that does have parking... overall I have not seen many hotels that charge for parking, maybe I am not visiting right places? In last year when i go Catamaran charter Victoria  indeed - if I was told parking at the hotel will cost me (price mostly irrelevant) I would be surprised. 

Hello! In my travels, I've noticed that hotel parking policies vary greatly depending on the location and type of hotel. In city centers, it's more common to find hotels that charge for parking due to limited space. However, in suburban or rural areas, free parking is often a standard amenity.

Many years ago I was filling up my company car at a petrol station and when getting back into the car I slipped on some diesel spillage which resulted in me hitting the right side of my chest on the edge of the open door.

My immediate thought was “ouch that hurt a bit how stupid of me” before getting in the car. A few days later no pain or external signs of injury. Life went on.

Fast forward maybe a year or so and while out working I suddenly had trouble breathing with severe pain when doing so and difficulty talking.

I was around 10 miles from home and found that by taking a deep breath and holding it the pain subsided enough to enable me to drive home.

Being summer my wife at the time was outside the house as I pulled up and I asked her to phone an ambulance.

Blue lighted to the hospital, checked over again, x-rayed to be told I had a Pneumothorax (collapsed lung).

Not a very nice process to get it re-inflated twice after it collapsed again after a week.Book of Dead Slot UK

Even when the hospital staff asked if I had suffered any trauma injuries I said no. It was only decades later that I realised the cause was due to that slip on the diesel in that petrol station.

These days my biggest concern is falling and breaking a hip or wrist. 

Delayed onset of conditions like a pneumothorax is relatively rare but can occur, especially with chest injuries. It's important to monitor any chest trauma, no matter how minor it seems, for symptoms like pain, difficulty breathing, or a persistent cough. If these symptoms occur, seek medical attention promptly. Preventive measures include being cautious in potentially hazardous environments and wearing appropriate safety gear
