[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]But this would happen in reverse too! [b] If the car nosed in, upon return then the car has to back out into pedestrians randomly walking by[/b].  [/quote]

AND with less visibility when backing out.

Anyone who thinks it’s safer to pull in needs to start backing in to learn the difference.

If you are parking somewhere turn on your signal. [/quote]

I have more visibility backing out with a backup camera than driving out forward. Without a camera, visibility is similarly limited both ways,[b] but backing into a space always takes longer than pulling in forward. [/b]There are times it’s warranted—concerts, sporting events, and tight parking garages. I always figured people who insist on backing in at places like Target are bad drivers. [/quote]

You guys always say this, but you always conveniently neglect to make the other appropriate comparison, which is pulling out versus backing out. [/quote]
