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.
This does seem to be true. They can see around corners basically.

So you don’t understand turning radius nor understand the which end of the vehicle has the 2 wheel that turn laterally makes a difference in the mobility of the vehicle.

Angled parking is different.

Yeah, the rest of us have all day to wait for you to properly execute your preferred parking method. By all means, please take all the time you need.

Not during an emergency and everyone trying to leave at same time.

Went to a LSU game a few years back and a rent-a-cop absolutely lost her mind on me because I backed into my spot. Having a power trip in front of her superiors, I kindly asked them what the actual problem with me safely parking my vehicle so when I leave later, I take the risk out of hitting a drunk pedestrian on my way out? They looked at her and told her to leave. LSU won so there were two wins that day.

This makes me laugh. My wife’s (no pics) grown son is a fanatic on doing this. When he lived in town, he always did I this when pulling into our driveway…we have a circular driveway !!!

Even if the space is open from either side?

I'm not a redneck, my balls won't shrivel up if I pull straight in, I back-in if I'm unloading, the rest of the time is situational.
