      I never understood the benefit of this. You need to go backwards at some point regardless.

        Simple: Visibility and speed. You look at a parking spot, and if it’s empty, it’s definitely empty. It’s virtually guaranteed to stay that way as you back in, so you don’t need to monitor what’s in it. No cars, cyclists, pedestrians, emergency vehicles, et cetera, are going to enter the parking stall as you back in. That’s not true of a street or lane when you back out into it. It’s often difficult to even see traffic coming, as backup cameras don’t have the wide-angle coverage, and there’s always the possibility that you didn’t see somebody.

        As a result of both of those factors, with practice, backing in can be done in seconds, and pulling out is a breeze. Pulling in forward is a breeze, but for most people, backing out is a slower, more nerve-wracking maneuver. (At least that’s my assumption from watching how long it takes.) On the other hand, the people who just YOLO it back out into traffic are psychopaths.

          What about the grocery store? How do you load your groceries into the trunk when you’re backed in? How do you even get the cart back there? All logic breaks down at the grocery store.

            Want to really make a power move in life? Go through your grocery store clockwise, like a psychopath. Just to show you won’t let the system control you!

        It’s safer to drive forward out of a space when you have a clear view of your surroundings, though.

        Backing out of a space when surrounded by large vehicles on either side is basically done blind, where you have to trust that people or other cars aren’t suddenly going to be right behind you.
