If the spots are angled, backing in seems counter to design.

Driving though parking spots is my pet peeve. Mostly because people do it in the front crowded sections and do it too fast.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only good driver I've seen.

Sorry bud I got some data to show you here:

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT in the same position backing up into a spot vs backing out of a spot from head in. The amount of time you lose sight of the parking lot is easily 10-15 seconds difference. So, sorry - you are WRONG.

And it wasn't 1 fleet manager - ask ANY fleet manager. This is discussed at the Service USA conference EXTENSIVELY on annual basis.

Your flow of traffic argument is meaningless - it's a parking lot there is no flow of traffic - you have to pass a spot to parallel park - how is that any different? People don't back in because it's harder...plain and simple, but it is statistically safer. Yeah all that technological stuff is great, but do you really think that'll help you in court if it fails and you hit someone or something?
Why must you trigger @PowPow like this? :ROFLMAO:

I would agree with the angled spots, especially since they’re often accompanied by one-way aisles in a parking lot so you are literally going the wrong way.

Angled spots are ONLY supposed to be done as head in parking.

The cameras work when you back into the spot too. You kind of invalidated your own argument there.

And maybe leave some room for the Holy Ghost when you’re following other cars in a parking lot. 😜


(I don’t actually care. I’m just trying to pad things so we hit 1000 pages. 🤣)
actually, that was my point. it doesn't matter. the technology exists both ways.

haha.

I read the articles, but I still think any advantage you gain is minimal bc of backup cameras.

I can't believe those articles actually recommend pulling through from other rows. That shit drives me nuts bc it's unexpected and not going with the flow.

I think we can all agree parking lots are free-for-alls. godspeed out there my friends.

My rule of thumb on any road or parking lot is to assume everyone other than me will do the absolute dumbest thing possible. Most of the time, I'm right.

On a side note my accessory stockpile is building while I wait for my rig., design for hardtop hoist in garage is coming along nicely and I also spent some time drafting up my "story" to share with the appropriate state/federal officials (and the rest of the B6G community so they can do what they do) once my rig arrives. #IYKYK #FAFO
