Making people while you park reverse? If you’re by yourself, have a blast. One guy tried to park his truck. While he was going in reverse, I looped around and parked on the other lane. I got out and started walking and Dude was still trying to park. And he had 2 spaces to work with.

While you save time by driving out first, you lost that time 3 folds by reverse parking.

Its not about time, its about safety. Many companies require you to back in park. First move forward. In my personal vehicle, I just pull in. If I do that in my work vehicle and hit something while backing out, good bye work vehicle priveleges.

It's about physics and safety. You can maneuver a long wheel based vehicle better into a parking spot by reversing. When your first move leaving is forward you have a better understanding of your vehicle's surroundings. Are you more likely to reverse over a small child or run over a small child in front of your vehicle when leaving a parking spot?
