I once heard “to keep your tailgate from being stolen” but that seems like it’d be a rare case.

    imo it doesn’t matter if you have the kei car. they are very manueverable. also the introduction of backing cameras make things safer.

    things change once you get into the bigger cars / pickups.

      I drive a pickup and I always back in, because I’m not trying to back up into traffic. It feels irresponsible.

        Nah, just inconveniencing traffic on the front end as they wait for the poor attempts at backing in.

          I’m actually a real Chad when it comes to backing in, can’t speak for others. But I also can’t see when I’m backing out, and I will win a fender bender because my bumpers are steel and quite high. So trust me my guy, it’s better for everyone that I back in.
