[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do not have to back in or pull in.  You do what works best for you.  But you do have to be careful and considerate to others.

I back in my space at work for two reasons. [b]One, I can back in easier than I can pull in usually (pulling in woukd take several adjustments).[/b]  No one is that impatient in the morning, but if you hold them up at the end of the day backing out, your life is in danger : ).

I don't get this.  I can't imagine a situation where backing into a parking space would be easier than pulling into it. [/quote]

Most people don't get it, because most people lack fundamental skills to operate the vehicle.  If any of you have ever driven a fork lift, you will note that the REAR wheels are the ones that turn.  Same reason why the rear wheels on a ladder truck (fire engine) turn.  You have greater maneuverability in tight spaces this way.  Imagine for a moment an 18-wheeler trying to PULL IN to a loading dock.  It would be impossible.  I drive large vehicles, and maneuverability is so much better when the REAR wheels turn (as they do when you are operating a vehicle in reverse).  This is why so many of us say that backing in is not only safer, but easier.  You either get it, or you don't.

Awful example and illustration

I'm driving a cuv, not an 18 wheeler

Did you go to an Ivey?

Just curious

Not sure what a CUV is, but I agree with PP.  Backing in is better.
