It is much easier to pull out of a space which you have backed into. Its safer too because you can see much better. A friend has a work truck, he is consistently rated the safest driver they have in part because he always backs in to park. -Curt On Tuesday, November 7, 2023 at 04:01:25 PM

I think it’s thanks to the backup cameras. People utilize them to slide their land yachts into a spot, lining up the lines on the screen to the lines on the lot. Then, when it’s time to leave, they can simply jet out. AZBob Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 7, 2023, at 2:01 PM, Kaleb Striplin via

I travel a lot and have noticed recently at hotels, restaurants, basically anywhere with a parking lot, people seem to back into the parking stop instead of just pulling in. This seems to be especially true with pickup trucks and big SUVs. What’s the deal? I think it’s stupid as crap and my
