it may make pulling out easier, but it makes pulling in harder

Going forward is much easier if you are pulling out rather than pulling in.

That doesn't make sense to me if I'm understanding you correctly.

I'm referring to a car and not a "big truck" though.

Maybe, but only marginally, if at all. Backup cameras make backing into spots a

Nope. Having the steering on the "back" wheels when backing in gives you more

A 5-point back in just means the driver did it wrong...

Yep, with a little practice it can be done as easily as pulling in forward

Can you explain what it is you’re referring to? I live in Logan and nobody does

Cameras make it easier to back in and pulling forward is easier when you leave

This, cameras have been a game changer when it comes to parking.

Cameras still make it easier to back out when leaving
StantonMac

Cameras don’t provide good peripheral vision and the driver is closer

I'm with you on this. I've never understood or agreed with the other side.

Because it's the correct way to do it.

Because when you pull into a spot (especially with a big truck), it can be hard

They are making parking spaces smaller and that makes parking backwards easier

5/23/19 11:18pm
besides smaller spaces, cars are bigger now, so it's a double whammy on the space available

Less risk of hitting something if you back into a parking spot, easier to leave

How can it possibly be less risk of hitting something if you back into a spot?

I simply can't agree. I'll just have to go against the grain.

LOL. OK. Just don't follow too close in the parking lot when I back up my truck
