>>28980309(OP) wow, that's both the easiest and safest part of driving. desu you should surrender your license if you struggle with it, the rest of your driving is probably even worse.
>>28980326 no it's actually where the most accidents happen. just like in plane crashes most accidents happen during takeoff and landing

>>28980326 yes it is easy if you drive a smart or something small. complete different story in a large car you cant see the front and always have to park in reverse

>>28980334 >no it's actually where the most accidents happen for people that are retarded, elderly, or not paying attention to what they're doing, yes >just like in plane crashes most accidents happen during takeoff and landing there's nothing correlative between the two, plane crashes at takeoff are almost always primarily caused by weather or mechanical failure, pilot error usually isn't the primary cause. if you hit a car pulling into or out of a parking space, that is 100% operator error. also, comparing operating a plane to operating a car is insane, you're a moron for even trying to compare the two.

>>28980309(OP) I parallel parked from the passenger seat before bc woman moment
>>28980336 my crown vic is a '90 and therefore it has tiny mirrors that don't even stick out past the widest part of the body so I've just kinda had to get a "feel" for how I'm parking it over time. my first year owning it though, people probably thought I was drunk whenever I got out, lol

>>28980462 it is. mine only has a reverse cam and I'm going to fit an aftermarket front camera.
>>28980309(OP) Learn how to reverse park. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes a breeze to park. You'll also impress the normalfags who can't reverse a car into anything.

>>28980498 i second this. bought a truck after driving subcompacts my whole life and i still can't front park that mf, but back parking is trivial and gives more room for other people driving through the lot.
>>28980309(OP) backing in is much easier than pulling in. Pulling out afterwards is also way easier than having to back out instead Just watch your mirrors, keep your left and right corner between the obstacles on each side (2), once you're straight use the camera for the rest (3) It's really easy if you take your time to wrap your head the process around once or twice

>>28980509 I know an even better trick (traffic school teacher pbuh) which is easiest if you already have two cars between an empty spot. Simply drive half way through the car in front, turn maximally away from that car until the car behind is visible in the other mirror. Then turn maximally towards the closer car and reverse. All you need is some minor adjustments through the side mirrors to park like a king.
>>28981025 >>28981045 >ree ree ree ree I will continue to back in. Not just with my work truck (F-550 with utility box that has very poor visibility backing out of a space) but also with my work beater (honda fit) and my motorcycle (nc700)
>>28981091 >I will continue to... operate irrationally.
>very poor visibility Creeping out of a parking space is objectively safer than Backing into one. You also spend less time blocking the flow of traffic.

>>28981499 >Creeping out of a parking space is objectively safer than Backing into one. I agree! That's why I back in, so I can safely creep out when I'm ready to leave. >You also spend less time blocking the flow of traffic. It's going to be blocked whether you back in or pull in! That's why it's called traffic!
No it's not retard, when you back into a space you have a sharper turn radius and you know exactly what you're backing into. When you back out of a spot there's impatient cars and people on their phones not paying attention to you as you're backing out semi blind.
Just admit you suck at driving faggot

>>28981900 It's easier to back in because the front end pivots around the corners of the other two cars It's easier to then pull out since you can see traffic, also much faster so you don't hold up everyone else. Same as above, way easier to get around the other two cars which saves a ton of time

>>28981900 >You purposely omitted one key variable: >Time. (fully impeding the flow of parking lot traffic) Just like when you pull out of a spot and people have to wait for you right? Let's run a thought experiment. Say it takes X seconds to pull into a spot, Y seconds to back into it. If you pull into it spot, it should take Y seconds to back out of it. And likewise, if you back into a spot, it should take X seconds to pull out of it. Since X+Y = X+Y, there's no difference in time at all! Therefore I will be backing in

point the car so that you have a wide-angle camera view of cross traffic when exiting, or if you have no camera then it doesn't really matter which way you park because you can't see through the suburban some bitch parked next to you anyway
