It’s actually the perfect excuse if you run into somebody that you don’t want to talk to and need a quick exit

Backing Into A Parking Space: What's The Point?

I heard it's an 808 thing, and that cops don't like it in states with no front plate, because they can't read the license plates.
I back into my own spot because I live right next to a decently busy intersection and line of sight is abysmal. If whatever lot is busy and someone parks like a moron, be it not within the spot or badly off to one side making door openage tight, that's lame. Otherwise IDGAF.

We were required to back into any parking space at my old job. You would be written up if you didn't. We had fleet trucks of Ford Ranger's and Toyota Tacoma's. I think it was because we were a forestry/urban forestry company we could exit fast in case of fires?
It's safer to back into a space rather than back out of a space into traffic.
Because I want to. Get over it Karen and mind your own business.
Why do you all care so much what other people do? Is this what America has become? Bunch of pansies whining about everything, all the time.

Actually, i don’t care why you care, but I guess this is just a prompt for you to think about the irony of your post.
every time you pull into a parking space, think about that

Another reason to back your truck into a space, at least one that has a median/strip behind is then you won’t stick out as much
One of my legit truck bro pro tricks is folding the mirrors before toll booths, when you gotta enter the gate code to go to the storage unit aka the bat cave etc

It's a safety/insurance thing. You're way more likely to have some sort of collision backing out of a spot than backing in to a spot. I used to work for a large global company (>175K employees) that required you to back into parking spots if you were driving a company owned vehicle. They were self insured and the backing in rule reduced parking related collisions by >75%.
Just yesterday as I was struggling to Park head-in style, with this thread in mind too, but the guy next to me in his easy to park little I don't know what kind of car it was hit the button to draw his mirrors in so I wouldn't take em out. Kind of funny way to diss a mellow non-jacked up full size pickup guy who has no problem admitting I can't park but I make it worse by trying. I always look for more spots farther away.
so when there are signs that say “head in park ing only” Is that just so law / parking enforcement can see license plates, irregardless of it increasing the likelihood of an accident?
I’ve seen it in municipal parking, and parking at the lirr train station.
but if I notice it in any private parking lot, I’m sure I’ll pay way more attention that I wouldve before seeing this thread

Here's where I park....
...down to the right.
No need to worry about it, chicken curry.
The best is back in parking only but someone insists on pulling in front first.
always funny to watch them try and back out
