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.

    coin flip pretty much

    I prefer parking for a quicker exit, but if the particular parking spot is too narrow or there’s a lot of traffic in the lot I’ll just park normal no big deal
