> The very first problem you encounter with this approach is that while you are setting up to back into a spot, the car behind you thinks you are passing by; so they nose in and take it. Or they don't understand you're about to stop and backup, so they pull behind you too close, preventing you from reversing.
You blink to the side where the spot is. Maybe in the US things are differently, but in most if not all places I've driven (Europe, South America, North America (sans US) and Asia), all drivers seems to understand that blinking to the left when there is parking on the left and no actual turn, means I'm about to back into that spot. They adjust accordingly and leave me space. Haven't really had any issues with this for the ~30 years I've been driving.
- jemmyw 4y agoI have problems with this all the time in NZ even though I'm indicating for parallel parking spaces so the driver behind must know I have to back in. I hate the sense of entitlement that these dicks have that they won't give room to allow someone to park, and then worse will try to squeeze past on the outside at the inconvenience of the parking car and oncoming traffic. Your 30 seconds is not worth more than everyone elses.
