[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the person who had no idea that people had an issue with others backing in.

Can I ask: what about parallel parking. My two most recent accident where with MD drivers trying to parallel park going in forward and simply misjudging the angle that would be required and sliding down my drivers side quarter panel while I was parked. Thank goodness for a dash cam. But I have always thought that EVERYBODY should advance PAST the parking spot and then BACK in to the parallel parking spot.[/quote]

They were MD drivers, which explains their idiocy.

Unless the space is enormous (like for 2 cars), you always back in for parallel parking.

And yes, backing in to a regular parking space is just dumb. It's not more safe, and I've had more close encounters as a pedestrians with people who back in, rather than people who back out. I'm confused how anyone could say it's safer. The people who back in always seem to cause more traffic jams in parking lots because it takes so damn long. [/quote]
