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.

    I think you just need more experience driving. Either one is pretty much equally easy, it just depends on how much space you have to work with and what angle you’re approaching from. For example there’s one parking spot at my workplace that’s basically impossible to get into without backing into it.

      Haha I’m 43 and have driven across the US 7+ times, so maybe there’s no hope! 🤣
