To me, it seems objectively easier to pull into a parking space forward and then back out of the space when you are ready to leave. You don’t have to line up with the lines while driving backwards, and it’s easier to keep from hitting other cars as well. So why back in? To me, the only advantage I can think of is that you can get out quicker, technically.
Edit: I do not need driving instruction, just wondered why. The reasoning.
True at higher speeds. You’re right about these points. But at slow speeds in a parking lot these have a negligible difference and results in parking forward or backwards being similar in difficulty. Especially if you’re not driving an oversized vehicle with poor visibility. So I will amend my statement in that way.
At low speeds these are all still issues that mean going backwards is harder than going forwards. They may be “similar” in difficulty, but going backwards is always going to be significantly harder.
