Except every truck I've ever owned is front wheel steer, dickhead. Other than that, you're exactly right.

backing into a parking space is much safer. Pull forward to exit. Otherwise you pull out blind into the travel lane. Always pull through or back in.

Most men back-up. Does your husband?

Lead with your nuts so they can see you coming.

If I don’t back in then my trailer ball won’t block the sidewalk and hit the bitchass OP in his shins.

That’s why I back in to the spot.

1) Proven safest way to park.

2) easier to get my truck into a spot backing in.

3) Safest way to egress.

4) Why does it bother you so much?

Sorry I made your parking spot more difficult to park in.

All the guys who do manual labor will insist that you’re stupid for questioning why they park stupidly due to their buddy’s employer’s parking lot policy.

90% of parking lot collisions happen while backing into a fixed object. While backing only amounts to 4% of total driving. It is safer to back into a spot upon arrival and being able to drive forward to leave.

Used to be mandatory at some of Mr. Gary's facilities.

Utter stupidity in my opinion. Just a bunch of thimble-penised wackjobs pretending their half-ton Chevrolets are "rigs."

My guess is OP has never driven a truck.


Stick to your cute little Fiat and stay out of the way of my truck!

Backing into a parking spot is the correct and safest way.

I used to think the same thing but I get it now.

You are at risk in some cases of having another truck park on the adjacent isle and it makes backing out a bitch. Backing in really does help in leaving easier.

The statistical case for backing in is pretty solid. The problem, in my mind, is that some people suck at driving in reverse. It is inherently more difficult.

You can criticize these people, and I'm right there with you on that point, but the fact is that they exist. I don't want them backing into my vehicle based on some statistical theory.

Let people park as they see fit for a given location / situation.

Oh sweet. This thread again. Now we know who can't back up and the dudes that drive girl cars.
