Parking - do you pull in forward, or are you a “backer-inner”?

I’ve always pulled in forward all my life, but notice many folks back in no matter what the situation. Often wondered why. What's your preference?

I back in, but it's a "whatever the situation requires" kind of thing.

I back in 75% of the time if I cant pull through...... it's easier to see when your getting out.

Back-in when early
Forward when late

Based on the length of the vehicle and the space available.
Empty parking lot? I'd pull in with a rv.
arse tight and narrow spaces? I back in with a civic.

Almost always pull in forward. Pretty much the only time I don't is when I'm parking at a game, event, etc. where there is going to be a line of cars leaving (particularly in a deck). Much easier to pull forward to get in line in that situation.

I've always backed into parking spots.
Significantly easier to back into a parking spot than back out of one.

If there are two spots open, I'll sometimes pull in forward. 90% of the time, I'm backing in. It's just easier.
My gf has a GX470 and SLK 280, and those get pulled in forward. Much shorter. The SLK is half as short as my truck

Poons pull in forward.

Always pull in forward.

I am way better at backing my truck in, even my kids know it.

Backing in is safer and easier if you’re a competent driver, but when impatient people are near it can be more challenging.

depends on the parking lot.

People who pull through on diagonal spaces are the bane of my existence

A vehicle will turn in a smaller radius when backing in with the steering tires to the rear, this makes it much easier for vehicles with longer wheelbases such as trucks to back into a parking space, it is why forklifts that must work in tight spaces use the rear wheels for steering.

Back in. It’s easier to hide that you are keying the full size truck of the numb nuts that is over their line.

I used to scoff at the backer inners until I got my f150 and then I realized how much easier it made life.
