Prepper thing. Easier to do a tactical escape forward than reversing out.

I had a guy in an apartment complex I lived in park that way. I just nicknamed him quick get away guy.

I always back in but I got a cheater camera on the back of my Qashqai

I do it sometimes.

They did that in San Marcos, TX. The people hated it and they went back to the intelligent way to park an automobile. They do it on South Congress in Austin. STUPID,STUPID,STUPID!

Makes it quick on your way out...... Just saying... don't really care

You win!..it is a pretty lame question...lol

Hahaha nah I'm from all over ,west coast mainly ,I back in 98 percent of the time ,just makes it easier when pulling out

You would rather wait for them to back out? What do you do bulldoze them back into place or just run over the top of them? Don't know Texan law but if you run into the back of a vehicle here you are a fault.

Reversing in out of traffic is far safer than reversing out particularly when the number of stupids venting impatience and road rage are exponentially growing. I live in a state where angle parking nose first is the go.
I think that it stems from horse and horse and cart days when they were parked nose into the hitching rail. They no longer exist, in fact I suspect that a horse would be run over within 30 minutes of taking to the streets.

I keep intending for to complain that safety suggests that rear to kerb angle parking with nose slanting in the direction of future travel is far more advisable. But I live in a State of stupid bible bashers and god botherers.

I’m in MN and many do it here. I’m fairly amazed at people who do in a big truck. I drive a small Ford Focus and I’d never be able to back into a space. I’m a horrible backer upper

the army teaches people to do that so as to be ready for an emergency [ like 3 seconds will make any difference at all ]

I live in California and you can get a pretty hefty ticket for doing it because you usually have to go against traffic to get out---so not so much

So? When they leave, they have to back out anyway, so what's your point?

Not very many people do it in CO.

They back into the spaces here in Newport News and throughout Virginia. It's especially aggravating when a damned SUV blocks the lane and takes forever to back into a space. I think its part of Trumpworld, to be rude and obnoxious. The irony is that in many places, if you back into a space, say in a public park or an off-the-road lot, you're saying you're gay and you're looking for sex.

I prefer the back-in or pull through method myself.As @Lifesgood208 alluded to, you never know when you're going to have to make a quick get away.

I only do it when I'm downtown.
