Cars and trucks parked backwards in parking spots.
Wait, what? Backing a truck in makes it a lot easier and safer to leave (better visibility of traffic and pedestrians). It has little to no effect on anybody else other than maybe having to wait for them to back in.
Yeah and you actually get the vehicle straight and centre of the spot
Can’t downvote this hard enough. The only spaces that should even allow pull-ins are those diagonal ones and even those kinda piss me off.
Remember the time the combat parked vehicle almost didn't see you when leaving the grocery store parking lot? Me neither.
When I drove a company van for work, they forced me to park like that. Their reasoning was it's too hard to see to back out and could lead to accidents. Which never made sense, because backing into a space has the same issue if the space is flanked by two parked cars and I can't see well enough behind me to line it up.
Backing in is safer because you have better visibility at the critical moment when you need to block another lane while backing up.
You can see both sides on the mirrors so it's almost impossible to hit the cars next to you and it's very unlikely there's someone standing behind you on the parking space.
Fender benders on a grocery store parking lot when backing out is probably the most common type of road accident.
