Yeah, the problem with turning is that you don't exactly turn in place, and if you're too far backward, you'll back into the thing you're trying to turn next to

Forward parking sure has the same issue but for me at least it's much easier to assess depth right in front of me than 2-3 meters behind, through a little mirror. And I mean I can park in front of a wall and leave a 15-20 cm gap between the bumper and wall without much trouble, but it is seriously difficult for me to say whether there's half a meter or one and a half between my rear and the next object. I guess they invented reverse cameras for a reason, I just haven't bought one.
