[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somebody mentioned this in the "things you find annoying" thread. Which do you prefer, and how old are you?

I'm 48 and there were no backup cameras when I learned to drive. I've always parked front-in because it's how I learned and I'm a creature of habit. Even with a camera I prefer to do the maneuver that requires some degree of precision while going forward rather than backward.

Most of the time it really doesn't matter to me what others do. But one situation does annoy me: If I'm heading down a row of spaces on my way out of a lot, and I see the car in front of me slow down and begin to turn left, [b]that used to mean I could move around them to the right as they pull in to the left.[/b] Now sometimes it means that I'll be waiting as they stop, shift into reverse, then make one or more attempts to back in.[/quote]

No, it has never meant that. Stop trying to pass the car in front of you in the confines of a parking lot.[/quote]
By the time I get up there, what I'm "passing" is a parked car.[/quote]
