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.
This sentiment is why I fully believe at least 50% of you shouldn’t be allowed to operate a motor vehicle.
Which is more dangerous, backing into a parking spot, or backing into traffic?
For the love of God, if you drive a vehicle, figure it out.
I genuinely think the bar for a driver’s licence should be raised to take 50% or more off the road.
Can’t reverse park? Don’t know where oil water and air goes on your car? Lack confidence in certain conditions? Here’s a free bus pass.
A lot of people don’t even want to drive, but in a lot of places there’s just no viable alternative.
I’m a big advocate for changing that.
Driving should be a privilege, not a right.
Before being either a provledge or a right, driving should not be a necessity.
