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 mean they asked a question to get an answer. Telling them to ignore and listen to your reason and that it’s to do with ego is a terrible way to deal with things you disagree with in life.

    I just learned how to drive this year and reverse parking is not difficult, I do it quickly and get it right first try. If others find it difficult and need to go in head first, then go head first. I try to make it easier to leave. If it’s not for you, live your life. Not everyone struggles with reverse parking … I honestly didn’t even know people did. I figured everyone with a license could do it easily.

      The thing is, I don’t actually disagree with it. I don’t care what other people do if it doesn’t affect me, I just understand why and I’m willing to say it out loud.
