[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Yup, this.  I’m have good spatial awareness and it doesn’t add much time for me to back in.  Regardless, I don’t mind wait a few minutes for someone to back in if it reduces injuries.[/quote]

It doesn’t take a few minutes to back in.

It’s like an extra 5 seconds to park and saves time when you’re pulling out.

People who can’t wait 5 seconds for me to park can kiss my a$$.

It does take some people a few minutes - but you’re right that it saves time when leaving.  The added time, if any, is so minimal and it’s so much safer.  (I also couldn’t care less if people get annoyed, as per my response to another PP)[/quote]

It isn't safer: you are still backing up, just at a different time in your outing. [/quote]

It is safer, which is why AAA recommends it.

The space you’re backing into is almost never occupied by pedestrians, in contrast to backing out into driving lanes, etc.  Hence: safer.  I agree with another PP: practice sometime.  Most people get the hang of it if they practice.[/quote]

No one said they do not know how to do, it is just that it is unnecessary.[/quote]

It’s pretty clear that if you could actually do it yourself wouldn’t be complaining about it so much.

Just practice and you’ll get it.
