[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is zero logic to the "it's safer to back in" argument - there's no visibility gained (only lost) while backing at such angles. It's only safer because the people walking through the parking lot will stop and gawk at the person backing in, thinking "what on earth is this fool doing?"

If you can’t understand how it’s safer to leave a space you backed into, then you must have some sort of spatial awareness disability.[/quote]

There's a whole other part - arriving and backing into a space. And that is NOT safer, at all. [/quote]

Dp - of course it is. As you are preparing to back in you have full visibility of the driving/walking. The odds of someone walking between cars is close to zero. If you have backed into a spot you have the same level of visibility as you pull out, which you do not have if you pull in because you’re positioned at the last part of the car to gain visibility.

I have never found this to be the case walking through parking lots. It's always the person backing in that's like "OK I'M GOING IN EVERYONE BETTER JUST STOP BECAUSE I'M JUST GOING." I always feel much less safe walking through when someone's trying to back in. It takes a lot longer, and so you have more time to deal with people than someone who parks the normal way.[/quote]
