QUIZ: which circumstances are those? 
What happens here
The video captures a large pickup truck equipped with a commercial salt spreader, specifically a BOSS brand spreader, driving through a parking lot at night. The spreader is actively dispersing granular salt onto the paved surface. The narrator states that this is 'pre-salting' and explains that it's a move for 'only in SOME circumstances' to prepare the parking lots and mitigate potential issues before snow arrives. Several other commercial vehicles, including a heavy-duty truck and a forklift, are visible in the background, suggesting a commercial or industrial setting.
Goal: Witnessing parking lot pre-salting
