Why do some of you insist upon backing into your parking spot at work? Do you

Statistically speaking, it is the safest way to park.

Still true. I'm required to park my company car that way.

Your sound logic is annoying.

It’s also statistically the most annoying way to park

Don't hate on it just because you don't have the skills to do it.

If you have to have special skills to do it, why is I the safest way?

It isn't my skills I am unhappy about. It is waiting while morons try three times to get it right

So that's what it's all about. People thinking it impresses that they CAN do it.

It's true, you either have to back up on the way in or the way out, and it's

Lil. This seems to violate the most basic of cost/benefit decisions.

...and there are people and cars about WHILE trying to back in to the space
JmThms
4/16/18 2:17pm
Maybe you tend to overgeek things, but I don't find myself applying cost/benefit
dreamlvr
4/16/18 2:43pm
Neither do I. I reject things like backing into a space at first thought.

Good for you!

Interesting. I've driven for 41 years and haven't had a single person back into

I have.

THIS actually makes sense. The only time i've ever cared about doing it is for a quick getaway after a byu game
ColonelMustard

Why is that? Not doubting it is true, but it seems like it is harder to pull
Thrill

You see the whole area when driving to the space and backing in.
Mister P
4/16/18 1:57pm
Why is that? Doesn't make sense to me.

Backup cameras making them think they are actually great drivers.

Just don't do it when you have cars right behind you.

It's definitely easier to get out if you have a larger vehicle.

This is technically correct.
macdizzle
4/16/18 8:52am
No, it actually may take longer, there's just more visibility pulling out
BlueRhino
4/16/18 8:55am
But pulling straight out during high traffic times is a lot faster and easier than waiting for space
John Doe

I think it's a weird habit too but I like pulling through.

My preferred way to park in parking spot. UNless I can do the pull through.

easier both in and out with a pickup. i don't back in with the sedan.
smokymountainrain
4/16/18 2:25pm
Because it's easier to back into a spot rather than into traffic.

This is what makes no sense than to me. Just the opposite.

Cops pay special attention to cars backed in... a way to hide license plate

Totally sounds like an old wives tale.

In some jurisdictions there are cop cars with license plate scanners. They drive through lots

71% of US Police departments use them in some form. Read up:

I’ve heard cops say it. 19 States use one plate, about half.

Nothing about this thread has upset me. It's all kind of funny to me, actually.

Sweet! I like the idea of a little extra security. I have nothing to hide.

This is absolutely a necessary skill when attending large crowd events (football games etc.) It facilitates pulling out
