To me, it seems objectively easier to pull into a parking space forward and then back out of the space when you are ready to leave. You don’t have to line up with the lines while driving backwards, and it’s easier to keep from hitting other cars as well. So why back in? To me, the only advantage I can think of is that you can get out quicker, technically.

Edit: I do not need driving instruction, just wondered why. The reasoning.

    A long vehicle (truck, SUV, some crossovers) is MUCH easier to park with precision by backing up in my opinion.

      Especially in tight carparks, it’s much easier to get both in and out with a large vehicle. Plus you can see much better which on a car with no reverse camera is a big plus.

      lol at the idea of a truck parking forwards… “How the hell are we going to load this, Lemmy? You’ve pointed the cab at the loading dock!”
