      I haven't owned anything with a trunk since 1998. Only trucks. That being said, I always back in. I also park out in the middle of nowhere next to a cart return. Less door ding chance and I just pull the cart into the return and load everything into the back seat over the rail. No need to return a cart either.

      The science is simple, which is why losers don't get it. It's all about that inside back tire. Once that clears the adjoining car you can divert your full attention to everything else.
      You have the right of way backing in, and you have an immediate exit when launching. What's not to love?

    As a truck driver, you’re taught to always back into the spot. You need less room to swing your front end around going forward out of a spot than you do backing out. It’s also infinitely safer to drive out forward because SEMI TRUCKS DONT HAVE BACK WINDOWS. Well, day cabs do, but a trailer could be blocking it.

    Reverse parking is definitely one of those habits I never thought I'd get into until it became a useful time saver when going to work every morning. It's often easier than normal parking when you're trying to get a spot in crowded parking lots too. Biggest tip: the main rearview mirror is mostly useless and side mirrors will be your friend. Get good enough at using them and you don't even have to turn around in your seat. Forgive me if this sounds elitist, but I've never owned a car that's new enough to have a backup camera and personally don't like using it when I'm driving a car that has one. They're nice for sure, but they don't help you develop the spatial awareness to know when something is next to your car, or how close it really is.

    A couple disadvantages to backing in: In a busier parking lot, drivers behind me think I'm driving past and I lose access to the parking spot because they simply front in. Secondly, the swing of the front end blocks oncoming traffic and I need to look both forward and backward to make sure I'm not swinging/backing into an impatient car or person when it's busy (I live in Toronto). Thirdly, I always need access to my hatch for strollers, baby bags, groceries, loading materials etc...I don't need access to my engine bay or need to make a quick getaway. I think reversing out is a non-issue, in one case or another you'll have to reverse on arrival or on exit. Rear view cameras and cross-traffic sensors do a great job in an CUV to detect oncoming vehicles or pedestrians. Having said that, there are definitely situations where backing in benefits more.

The extra time spent backing out and changing direction (especially under heavy stress) is already taken out of the equation. That's why I do it. Sure it may be slightly paranoid but every advantage helps.

      @yearginclarke Рік тому +4

      @@jacobjones5269 This turned out to be a mini essay, but I don't care. What exactly is so hard to understand about this? When backing out of a spot it's really easy to miss something because you are not only concentrating on not hitting the vehicles on both sides of you, you are also trying to pay attention to people who may be walking and driving on both sides behind you...and you obviously have LESS visibility than you would if you had drove straight out. Pedestrians are frequently idiots walking inches directly behind you with no general awareness of what you or even themselves are doing, and don't seem to notice or care that you are trying to back up. And they often seem to appear out of nowhere. Being able to simply drive out forwards quite simply makes the visibility so much easier. And when you initially choose to back into a space, you already have *MORE* control over the entire process of parking *_and_* leaving, because you just pulled in and saw your surroundings and know what is going on around you better.
      The technical skill of backing in is not really that hard with some basic practice. If you think you're gonna back into a car, that's why you have a mental note of how long your vehicle is, and pay attention to how the front of your vehicle lines up with the front of the white markings, and back in slowly. Even if the markings are not visible it's not that hard. Stop short and get out and look! I'm sure most people have mastered other things in life that are much harder than this. I don't think you should be able to get your license if you can't perform a basic level of proficiency in this skill. They expect you to know how to parallel park, right? How is this any harder to learn than that? I find it to be easier.
      First choice spots are always where you can drive across two empty spaces and simply park on the side that lets you drive out facing forward. If this is not an option, find less busy areas in the back where you aren't holding anyone up and back into a space. If you're not disabled or too lazy to walk then this shouldn't be a problem. And if there happens to be two vehicles parked on both sides of you when you get back to your car, guess what? You were already thinking ahead and you get to simply drive out. If I'm in a tiny parking lot like a gas station etc. I don't bother backing into these spaces unless no one is around and know I can pull it off easily.

    In UK/Europe the parking spaces are so small, reversing is the only way to park if you have a full sized car.

    It makes more sense to go in to reverse in the parking spot, than going reverse into traffic and pedestrians

      For real backing in is usually much easier than backing out

      Backing into a spot, between two lines or between two cars, is never easier than backing out into the lane that is 2-3x as wide as a parking spot. Never.

      @@littlejackalo5326 it’s easier to back into parking spaces with larger vehicles like trucks than to pull forward into them. I have a midsize truck and the turning radius is ass. So backing in is much easier.

    I've never felt so called out in one instance by a character that is the complete opposite of me other than the backing up everywhere I go.

      i was just wondering throughout the video if this was an american thing or if this video is just oddly specific. Glad to see the comments aggreeing that reversing is no biggie

    "I'll put you in a hearse if you don't reverse!"
    I always backup in parking spots though. Had to do it all the time in the patch so, I'm used to it. Always leave yourself a way out.

    As a automobile detailer contracted with a car dealership, we’re pretty much obligated to park ever car reverse. With that, definitely becomes a habit.
