Interesting.

My observation is that the dcum drivers are not in the parking lots I frequent.  I have never once seen anyone back in in one try.  Not once.

Also not sure the safety argument makes much sense; a pedestrian (especially a small running child) could still try to nip across the space before you back into it.  There’s generally time.

When I leave I back out slowly, which has been safe so far.  But I don’t drive a giant car or truck. [/quote]

You have much better visibility when you are in the lane, not the spot.

Try it. It makes more sense when you do it.

You keep on saying this over and over and over agsin and it is so stupid--"try it"--we didn't just fall on Earth yesterday and started watching American driving patterns as aliens who have never driven before--we know how to back it, we just don't think it is a good idea.[/quote]

But it’s true.  When you are backing out of a parking space, you are backing into traffic — which includes drivers and walkers — and neither you nor the traffic can see you.  When you are backing into a parking space, there is little to no traffic (with the exception of the a$$hole tailing who pulls up close so you can’t back in — but, they can clearly see you).[/quote]

I have backed into spaces many times and what you are saying I'd not true. See how easy that is? Your declarations are not law. Ok, tell me to "try it" again. And then I will tell you I have.

So what will you say next, no real driver who knows how to drive agrees with this. Before you do that, look up True Scotsman fallacy in google.[/quote]
