[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly because of this:

The fact is that backing into a parking space so that you can pull forward when leaving is actually safer and can help reduce your risks of injuries to yourself and others. The American Automobile Association (AAA) recommends all drivers back into parking spaces whenever possible.[/quote]

Except I think it is more dangerous getting in.  First, you are following someone down the row and then they suddenly stop and start backing into you.  Or you are walking to your car and someone again just randomly starts backing into your path.  [/quote]

What?  You're following way too closely if someone backing into a parking spot is close to your car.  The second scenario is more likely to happen when someone is backing out rather than in, because of where most people walk in parking lots.

We get it, what you "think" is more important than what research shows.[/quote]

+1, it's a major pet peeve of mine is when cars follow right behind you, even if you are signaling to indicate you are about to park, and then either won't or can't give you space to back into a space or to parallel park. Why are you tailing so close, weirdo? There should always be a car's length between us and there is never a good reason to be so close to another vehicle they can't back into a space.[/quote]
