Comment on People who back into parking spots: Why?

  Its more of a visibility thing. Backing out, your vehicle has to be three quarters of the way into traffic before you can really see.

  You can just pull out of the spot and go, no need to change direction etc.

  In a tight car park I have almost got stuck once because there wasn’t enough room for me to back out and get my nose out from between the cars on either side to move forward

  Apart from the visibility argument. With this kind of parking spot you have to leave the spot in the other direction than you came in. So you’ll only get the enhanced agility for one of the moves.

  Would you rather have more agility when getting into the tight parking spot or when leaving onto a larger street?
