[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think backing in is "safer" then you really shouldn't be driving, period.

Backing out is not dangerous at all, if you're actually paying attention and looking around/over your shoulder like you're supposed to. [/quote]

The data says your anecdote is wrong, but I'm sure that doesn't matter to you.

Guess what? Backing OUT takes longer than pulling out headfirst. You're going to have to wait a few seconds on the front end or back end, so just calm down and accept it. [/quote]

That makes absolutely no sense. If you're backing in, then presumably you're doing so because you think it's safer than doing directly in a space. Meaning you are incapable of going in, and backing out safely. It's such a basic driving skill and if you have difficulty doing so, you really shouldn't be driving at all. You're distracted, you're not looking over right, left, right, left, then again. Slowly. It's not difficult at all if you're backing out correctly.

And you're only counting half the equation regarding time. You can't possibly expect to be taken seriously![/quote]

I back in because I know my surroundings backing in without anything coming up unexpectedly (pedestrian, Car in a blind spot). I like driving forward with full visibility of the parking lot activity. I can see kids running away from mom, rolling shopping cart, another car about to back out. It just makes more logical sense to me.[/quote]

Right. It means you lack elementary driving/parking skills and should park on the far end of the lot anyway, or not drive at all if you find backing out so challenging. I assure you, most normal people don't find it remotely unsafe because they know how to properly back out of a space due to basic driving skills. [/quote]

Stop feeding this troll, people. Ignore him. [/quote]

I'm not a trill - it's true. The only reason people back in, is because they're too incompetent to back out properly. [/quote]

No, it's quite apparent they back in because asshats like you speeding through the parking lot at 40mph and slipping behind them with inches to spare make backing out a life-threatening decsion.

[b]They back in so they can spot people like you coming when they pull out[/b]. [/quote]

People back in so they can spot people when they leave? What about while they are backing in? You’re going in reverse either way! [/quote]
Because when you back IN, you only have to keep an eye on the parking space you're entering, which is far less likely to have somebody speeding through at 40mph.[/quote]
