Have you ever used forklifts? Ya know how the wheels that turn are at the opposite end from the forks? Have you ever used a pallet jack?

Several mentioned pull thru and that’s the absolute best. Reduced risk.

Backing in is illegal on the islands here.

park all fricked up so no one can even utilize the spot next to you
… Go through any parking lot and at least half the forward parked cars are shite park jobs.
Where are you parking where this is happening with parking front end first to be this bad?
I don’t see it often, and then it’s usually someone purposely taking up two spots to protect their car not just because they are bad at parking.
Is anywhere within the lines good? Or if someone you think is too close to the line part of the ones that you consider to be all fricked up because you need the extra space to pull into the spot?

Great money grab for the greedy island council. They claim they must be able to see your tag while driving in a normal traffic pattern. Same for parking on the street against traffic. $100 fine for either. Millions of tourist here. Thousands in tickets each day.
It is pure bullshite for the people paying a hefty fee to stay at Anna Maria Island. Just a little kick in the nuts in the way out

Is this a difficult concept. I can’t pull forward into many spots because of the size of the vehicle, but I can back in because the wheels that turn (laterally) are at the opposite end of the vehicle.

And long wheelbase vehicles.

What’s it about? Douches who back in to look cool? I think that is a minority.

This is the only way I park my Chevy 2500HD truck.

If no one else will be delayed by your parking, then do whatever floats your boat.
If someone has to wait for you to back into a space, then you are an inconsiderate SOB.
This is the way.

Are you my dad bc I feel like you’re still bitching at me about not back into the spot for my son’s graduation last week.

Yes. Backing into traffic vs no traffic is always the more dangerous option, even if it's "just" a parking lot.

Backing in is technically easier given the way you are able to turn.
That’s not true at all. When you back in you are moving into a constrained area. When you back out you are moving into an open area.
You have significantly less room for error backing in.

Because the less you have to reverse the better off you are. Risk is reduced when you don’t have to reverse.

Pulling through is the best way.

With how good cameras are, depending on the situation it may actually be safer to back out of a spot now, as you'll be able to see more. If you have a large vehicle next to you, compared to your car, you may actually have to go out farther into the potential "traffic" pulling out forward, to be able to see. The backup camera now, you'll be able to see whats coming far earlier.
