Reverse Parking as to Straight in.
Sorry guys and gals, I wanted to come back to the topic of reverse parking.
What happened to the days where your driving instructor stated that it was manditory for you to be able to reverse and parallel park.
Yes, I admit it is easier for everyone to park straight in however, there is much more danger and likelihood of an accident doing this than it is to back in.
I is unfortunate that we are now in a fast pace society and obligations and responsibilities and ownership of these are gradually being layed to the wayside.
Laziness is also playing a part. I believe that it is now, more than ever that we should be practicing this method. Law suits and so-on are becoming more and more increasing over nothing. By just taking this one easy step to avoid accidents, you will lessen the likelihood of the cost associated with this.
Practice makes perfect! Practice and it becomes second nature as is driving front in. This will alleviate your lineups. DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!!!
Comon' it's not that difficult. Look at the time that you are spending backing out! It's about the same, just that it's safer to back in then it is to back out!

I drive a compact car. I'd much rather back in next to an SUV than back out blind.

RE: Reverse Parking
The moral of the story...I bet they still have the crash problem at those head-in angle parking spots.
Good day all!
