    From a recent argument on here.

    If you back-in to park in a typical parking lot, instead of just pulling in, I fucking hate you. I don’t give a shit what your dumbass excuses are. It’s NEVER faster or safer. There’s no epidemic of backing over people. You could back in over someone same as backing out over someone. But that basically never happens anyways. But there’s certainly shitloads of morons who clearly can’t handle their vehicles or geometry and inconvenience the hell out of others as we sit and wait forever for your poor attempts to back-in and then straighten out two more times.

    For everyone’s insistence on doing this, they sure as hell fucking suck at it.

    Now go buy a smaller car since you can’t handle yours, learn to pull in and back out since it’s simpler, and stop justifying the idiocy.

      I’m not downvoting you, because this is the type of comment the thread is asking for. But I really need to question this one. To me, it’s obviously geometrically easier to back into tight parking lots. I’m not sure if you’re in the US, but here in Norway, parking lots are generally a lot tighter than american parking lots. When you have only about a meter of total clearance and a narrow road along it, there is no way in hell to pull in front first.

        On the east coast of the US, most parking lots are wide enough for 2.5-3 cars. Much wider than a single perpendicular parking space. Backing out into that wide driving path is so much simpler than backing into a single car-width.

        Regardless, I simply am going off my experience having to sit and watch and wait as people constantly take far longer to back-in than when I have to wait for those backing out.

          When the lots are wide or several spots are free, I agree, I might pull in front first. But tight parking lots need that extra precission you get by backing into a lot. I have far more often been stuck for a while behind someone trying to pull in front first into a tight spot when backing in would have been quick and easy.

      Backing into parking spots is some cop shit. I learned really early in to not buy, uh, things, from people that backed into spots. They’re cops ready to pull out and chase you.

      I totally agree, it’s not changing the amount of backwards maneuvers you have to do, so what’s the point? It’s only slowing you and everyone else down on your way in, which is generally when people do not want to be slowed down. If the concern really is about backing into people, then maybe they can learn to be cautious, use/install rear cameras, and get a grip lmao.

      Also, ditto on the smaller car thing, I wish hatchback sedans with a hitch were more common than SUVs, they’re just better for everyday use/fuel mileage/maneuverability.
