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

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
Jericho

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
Jericho

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

And if you back in, quit taking 5 minutes and clogging the freaking lane!

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?

Backup cameras exist.

Never have I seen a person take a few tries to back out but most who back in act

You only back it in when you are in the bishopric so you can leave fast

Either way you have to back up once

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

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.

That's a big change.

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
Skeptical Optimist
Jan 7, 3:28pm
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

yea no one wants to wait for you to try backing up 3 times

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

I back in every single time* unless is is a diagonal lot or posted not to. It is by far the superior method. The largest

This is literally how I knew I'd become an old fart. When I started backing into all my parking spaces.
