You only back it in when you are in the bishopric so you can leave fast
and not spend another second there

If you don't back your car in to the parking space in the parking lot, repent

People who back in are better drivers, and less likely to cause accidents

People who don't back in wear a mask when they are alone in their car in 2025

Considering how many ugly people there are out there, more should wear masks.

That is the true purpose of masking, and why some refuse to let it go

Lol. Where do you live? Utah by far the mask wearers more likely to back up then

Yeah, take 5 minutes clogging the lane when you back out.

No because you can wait till there is no cross traffic.

How do you see cross traffic without starting to back up and clog traffic first?

Either way you have to back up once

If you must back, back first. Basic UPS driver safe driving training.

Same rule for anyone driving a Chevron vehicle.

but you have a better view and control of your situation if you back in first.

In theory, it's safer to back into the parking space.

not just theory. it is statistically proven

Most cars can pull in just fine. But it is better for longer SUVs or pick ups to back in.

Since my truck is big I like to be perfectly in the center of the spot.

Same. 3500 long-bed. I usually just park way out and walk farther.

Yep. Visibility is better in the truck.

Wrong: Backing out leverages the backup camera when leaving, vs pulling forward
Abe Froman
Jan 7, 1:39pm
Your windshield is at the front of the car, you have a full panoramic view when pulling out
Skeptical Optimist
Jan 7, 1:47pm
No it isn’t. It’s behind the front bumper and hood. You have to pull forward
Abe Froman
Jan 7, 2:10pm
It's still a superior view to a backup camera, or even worse, a rear view mirror

Not when your view is blocked. A small car flanked by SUVs/vans/trucks has zero

You might be good at it but I see plenty of people that should never attempt

Don’t care either way but don’t act all self-righteous abt whichever way you do it.
