To me, it seems objectively easier to pull into a parking space forward and then back out of the space when you are ready to leave. You don’t have to line up with the lines while driving backwards, and it’s easier to keep from hitting other cars as well. So why back in? To me, the only advantage I can think of is that you can get out quicker, technically.

Edit: I do not need driving instruction, just wondered why. The reasoning.

    I only occasionally drive into a space if I’m out shopping for groceries. So many times have I come back to find that I can’t load my bags into the car because someone has parked so close to the rear of my car.

    I just hate that I have to do this because no doubt the biggest SUV with tinted windows will park along side me and reduce my visibility to that of a mole-rat.
