I hear you. I am told it's safer to back in and pull out forward, cause when you pull in forward and then back out, your risk of an accident is higher. If you're in a small car like mine, you can't see past the huge ass trucks whose rear ends stick out past the parking lines. Even with the back up camera, which I don't use as much cause I'm old school and turn around and put my right hand over the passenger seat head rest, a car zipping through the lot comes up suddenly. I don't back in, cause I'm a terrible backer upper, and I would be one of those annoying people taking 2-3 attempts to get it in between the lines. People who take up more than one spot, and don't take the extra ten seconds to back up and straighten their parking, that's another story. That's just selfish and rude. Happens at work all the time. If I could write "bad parking tickets", I would.

Hey Dan. Don't drive to Coney Island. There are streets with perpendicular parking where the sign states you have to back in. You can get a ticket if you go in forward. I know this because my wife got one of those tickets.

Thank you. I swear this is an every day occurrence at my gym. Why? Just pull the hell in face forward.
