This! I hate when I have to back out of a parking spot and a car zooms past behind me when I'm already halfway out of my spot. So now I back into my parking spots.

Yes, it’s safer to back into a spot. It’s also quicker. Yes, it’s quicker when compared to someone backing out into traffic.

My question is why do you people keep asking this question?

So your whole conclusion is I am right and why on earth is anyone discussing this since I am right. No that is not how it works.

No, the conclusion is more…. Backing in is safer and easier.

You idiots keep asking this question as if the answer goes into and immediately falls out of your empty heads.

Nope it is a judgment call, according to some people, your answer is wrong. No conclusion to be found. You want me to do something so sp bad but I will not be doing it.

What are you talking about? I don’t “want” you to do anything.

I’m just wondering why you folks keep asking why people back into parking spaces. It’s been answered over and over again in thread after thread. It’s even Google-able.

You don’t see people asking why you pull into parking spaces.

The combination of easier parking and improved safety means I will always back into a space.

Always.

Get over it.

Exactly. However, the idiots will keep asking the question.

I don’t get what difference it makes whether people back in when they arrive or back out when they leave. There’s still backing involved and for some vehicles it’s legitimately easier to back into a parking space than go in forward. It would take me 8 tries to get my minivan in some spaces, but one try to get in by backing.

This. First time minivan owner here and that sucker is a land barge. I need to back in because it'll take me just as long, if not longer to pull front in (wide turning radius) as it does to back in, and is much safer/easier/faster for me to pull out when leaving.

Funny enough a visual check plus rear view camera supports backing out as well!

You’re backing into a spot that most likely had no people in it.

Not true of backing into the parking lot travel lanes.

The data is not on your side.

Minus inching out past the vans and suvs that would be more practical on the edges of lots or rural areas.

Those who can back in quickly and easily (clearly the vast majority of the posters on this thread) are not the problem. Maybe the slow parkers are practicing as recommended? Even if you can do it well in easy situations, it can still be unnerving with tight parking spots and traffic and it may take a few tries to perfect it.

This has to be one of my biggest pet peeves.

You don’t see people asking why you pull into parking spaces.

But people don’t back into their driveways. Arguably there are more pedestrians, especially small kids, that could be hit when you back out of a driveway. So backing into a parking spot is not actually about safety.

I back into my driveway. We are on a curve and have lots of pedestrians so it's much safer to pull out than back out.

I used to work at the police department. Every single car (or truck) in the parking lot was backed in. I think it’s a training thing in public safety anyway

And there’s the true response. Most of the back in park folk think they’re Walker Texas Ranger.
