[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Backing-in (or pulling through to the other space) is the only acceptable way to park.

If you’re pulling into a space, you should be ticketed*

*excluding complying with those ridiculous “front end parking only” spaces that DC has on certain one-way streets. [/quote]

Pulling through is something I do on occasion, but not often and I am aware of the fact that somebody else could be approaching that space while I am driving through one space to another. In parking lots at big box stores I wouldn't trust someone else coming behind me to stop and give me space to back in. They'd think you passed the spot on purpose. (Meanwhile, someone from the other side is "pulling through"!)

The theory for backing in is that you are going into a space where people are not likely to be and when you drive out you have a bigger field of vision. But people in a parking lot can come from ANYWHERE--walking in from the other side because they just saw where they parked, especially small children moving from one side of their car to the other, and so on.
