You don’t need a camera for backing in, though. If you look in your mirrors and you see that your own car doesn’t cover the side of the car next to you, you’re good to go.
Comment on People who back into parking spots: Why?
PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 10 months agoI have a tiny car and no backup camera; it’s much easier for me to pull forward with the front-facing visibility of navigating a tight parking space and then just go straight back for a bit and have some clearance when getting out.
Personal preference and all but it just works. The time I would spend trying to get backing in just right isn’t worth my inconvenience and the inconvenience to others behind me as they wait.
And yes, I can parallel park when the time calls for it, it’s not my favorite thing to do though.

Practice more and parking in reverse will become faster (and safer).

You’re going to reverse when you leave, in the end you have to reverse anyway!
You’re just out of practice, I was a valet for 10 years, reverse parking was an obligation, majority of cars didn’t have a camera, zero scratch to my record.
