Even better... reverse park.

[-] Lmaydev@programming.dev 10 points 11 months ago

Yeah I hate having easy access to my boot as well

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, everybody loves it when you clog up the lane slowly backing your car in.

[-] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

Kind of like the way you do while backing out?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -2 points 11 months ago

No, since there's much more room while backing out.

[-] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It's the exact same parking slot no matter which way you're driving in/out.

I disagree that it overall takes any more time no matter which way you park but one thing is for sure and it's that backing in is safer. It's way more common for people to get hit by a car that's backing out of parking slot that by one backing in. You can't see your surroundings when backing out because of the cars on your both sides but I can see the entire parking slot when I'm backing in.

It's faster to drive forward into a parking spot than to back into one. It's also faster to back out of a parking spot to back into one. Therefore, it's never faster to back into a parking spot.

Skill issue

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yes, the issue is that everybody lacks that skill, so it's faster to park by pulling forward into a spot.

[-] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago

You're clearly married to your opinions so I don't expect you to change your mind but perhaps consider the possibility that someone whose been backing into parking slots daily for over 15 years perhaps doesn't lack that skill. Turns out that practicing makes you better at something. Who would've though.

The video shows a car slowly backing into a driveway. Congratulations.

You're still a jerk if you do that in a busy parking lot, because then it's not just your time that's being wasted.

You're blocking people the exact same way when you're backing out of a parking slot. I can't believe how this can be so hard concept for you to grasp. Cognitive dissonance at its best.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Not for as long, since there's a much wider target you're moving into, as a driving lane is far more spacious than a parking spot.

I can't believe how this can be such a hard concept for you to grasp.

[-] DBT@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

How’s that work?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

A driving lane has significantly more length and width than a parking spot.

[-] DBT@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

But that length and width doesn’t change whether you’re gong forwards or backwards.

Whether you back in or out the space is the same.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Backing into the space, the space is narrow and shallow.

Backing into the lane, the space is wide and deep.

The latter is easier and faster than the former.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Fuck 'em.
