I back into spaces almost exclusively. reason: I see that I can do it when I arrive, and realize that exiting forward will be a breeze regardless of the future conditions (you are backing into an empty space, and forwarding into a space with other moving cars that are out of your control).
it's one forward lap and one backward lap, same difference, in addition to which I find steerability/maneuverability is much better with the "steering" wheels in the back, because after you get the forward aligned to enter the slot, you can simply steer away after that.
- anamax 1y agoYou're ignoring differences in the size of the space and the ability of most drivers to back-up vs going-forward into a small space. >90% of the people who back in take much longer to back-in than they'd take to back-out because it takes them more time to back up with any accuracy. Head-in to the spot is just as fast as head-out into the lane because most people don't have any trouble going forward. The result is that back-in is a net time loss.
- 3vidence 1y agoWhat an odd conclusion considering how many people get into car accidents when backing out of spaces. Reducing the chance of a car accident by like 5% would be incredibly beneficial to everyone.
