It's about equally difficult to back into a parking space as it is to back out. And it's about equally safe to forward into a space as it is to back into a space. But it's *way* easier to forward out of a space than it is to back out, and way safer too. So the combination of backing in and forwarding out wins for ease and safety. ♻ @Chimo: @jonkulp I never understood the point of backing up into a parking space instead of going in forwards.
