Thank you, my life literally just changed.

it's riskier to back into a spot than out. more things can go wrong. but I guess if you're good at backing up you can impress passengers with it.

Backing out is relatively easy and requires only a few looks around.

plus, since it's on the person who's leaving a parking space to come out slowly and cautiously (versus the person who's just driving through the main parking lane), why would you choose *that* time to be in a position meant for speed? you still have to leave the space slowly and carefully. you shave off maybe 5% of the time. but when you're in the main lane, you can just slide into a space, versus suddenly engaging in some slow game of Tetris.

so you might as well be backing out, which is meant for slowness anyway. your foot is going to be on the brake regardless.

backing in is for retards who want to feel like they're smart because they go against the grain.

I don't understand the angry screeds ITT against backing in.

In any event, it doesn't take that much longer to back in if at all.

when you're backing out of a spot, you have to pause to let other people pass, regardless of which way your ass is facing.

The risk leaving your parking space is that you are heading INTO the space where cars are moving in both directions, and people could be doing weird shit. When you are pulling out already pointed in the right direction, your field of vision is far superior simply looking forward. You don't have to rely on your mirrors/camera, and when the front end of your car clears the cars directly on either side, you have a clear 180 vision around you far earlier than if you were backing out.

The benefits here are so obvious when you take the time to think about it. There really is no argument.

So yeah, I am one of those annoying ones backing in because I am surrounded by assholes with extremely large trucks.

Second of all, there are so many reasons not to do it. If there are people behind you, it's ridiculous and a facepalm moment for everyone. Not to mention if there is someone ripping around a corner while you do it, they could clip you. This is the same risk as when backing out, however, backing in probably still takes longer most of the time which heightens your exposure. Also your driver's side door door most likely faces the driver door of the car next to you, which means that if you're crowded on the other side, you have no choice but to crowd your driver's side, as well as someone else's, greatly increasing the chance for dings.

Also, the average adult male can pull into a parking space effortlessly and never need not repark... backing in greatly increases the need to re-park which heightens one's exposure and wastes time.

I bet their women and shitpits go absolutely buckwild smelling the release of testosterone as their men make other traffic stop.

1b. Can jump-start a car with a dead battery from another car with jumper cables.

2a. Can see pedestrians, etc. while you are leaving the spot. Backing in worst case scenario is you ding a car, not a human.

2b. Can make a fast getaway in an emergency (ever notice that police ALWAYS back in?)

if you can't intuitively understand why it's more convenient to back into a spot, you should have your driver's license revoked

see amplified music, brake-checking, literring, arriving at the subway platform and walking to the 18" between you and the edge of the platform (no matter how crowded it is or who arrived first)
