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

This.
When you have a full size truck, you learn the value of backing in pretty pretty damn fast to the point where its essential, especially in tight parking lots.

Statistically, backing in (back-first) reduces the likelihood of having an accident when you are pulling out from a parked position.

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.

This/\ I will pull forward into most open lot parking spaces, but occasionally back in. Now, if parallel parking, it's almost always back and cut into the spot since I drive a full size pickup and there's hardly enough room to pull into spots along the curb going forward.

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.

many gov't and companies require this when parking.
Also some schools I know have put the policy in place after a kid was backer over when pulling out.
