      It’s the exact same parking slot no matter which way you’re driving in/out.

      I disagree that it overall takes any more time no matter which way you park but one thing is for sure and it’s that backing in is safer. It’s way more common for people to get hit by a car that’s backing out of parking slot that by one backing in. You can’t see your surroundings when backing out because of the cars on your both sides but I can see the entire parking slot when I’m backing in.

        It’s faster to drive forward into a parking spot than to back into one. It’s also faster to back out of a parking spot to back into one. Therefore, it’s never faster to back into a parking spot.

            Yes, the issue is that everybody lacks that skill, so it’s faster to park by pulling forward into a spot.

              You’re clearly married to your opinions so I don’t expect you to change your mind but perhaps consider the possibility that someone whose been backing into parking slots daily for over 15 years perhaps doesn’t lack that skill. Turns out that practicing makes you better at something. Who would’ve though.

                The video shows a car slowly backing into a driveway. Congratulations.

                You’re still a jerk if you do that in a busy parking lot, because then it’s not just your time that’s being wasted.

                  You’re blocking people the exact same way when you’re backing out of a parking slot. I can’t believe how this can be so hard concept for you to grasp. Cognitive dissonance at its best.

                    Not for as long, since there’s a much wider target you’re moving into, as a driving lane is far more spacious than a parking spot.

          But that length and width doesn’t change whether you’re gong forwards or backwards.

          Whether you back in or out the space is the same.

            Backing into the space, the space is narrow and shallow.

            Backing into the lane, the space is wide and deep.

            The latter is easier and faster than the former.
