  • When the lots are wide or several spots are free, I agree, I might pull in front first. But tight parking lots need that extra precission you get by backing into a lot. I have far more often been stuck for a while behind someone trying to pull in front first into a tight spot when backing in would have been quick and easy.


  • I’m not downvoting you, because this is the type of comment the thread is asking for. But I really need to question this one. To me, it’s obviously geometrically easier to back into tight parking lots. I’m not sure if you’re in the US, but here in Norway, parking lots are generally a lot tighter than american parking lots. When you have only about a meter of total clearance and a narrow road along it, there is no way in hell to pull in front first.





  • I use it 100% of the time when the rules of traffic prompts me to use it.

    Within a small single-lane housing area: I blink.

    When exiting my driveway and the road reaches a dead end 100 meters in the one direction, so it should be very obvious which way I’ll go: I blink.

    The roundabout in town which is so tiny that it looks more like an intersection, and when heading straight through it: I blink.

    It’s so much better to have a habit of blinking and making unambiguous signals than to forget it. It helps with the flow of traffic and probably lets everyone get where they need to go quicker.



  • A wireless logitech mouse for gaming from back when wireless technology for periferals still meant a decent amount of latency. I learned quickly why latency is important when gaming. Also the precission of the mouse was terrible as it would regularly skip backwards under slightly accelerated movements. It was pretty humbling for me as a ~15 year old kid to realize I wasted around 4 weeks of newspaper work money on a mouse which I gave up on almost the same day as I bought it.
