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.
The safety of pedestrians is the best explanation I’ve heard here so far, and it really does make me think, unlike all the people telling me I’m a bad driver and obviously they’re all so skilled and awesome which is why they back into spots. It’s seriously unreal how personally people can take a simple question, to the point they make huge assumptions about the person asking it. Definitely feels reddity in here lol
