I pull through or back in almost every time
It is much safer to do so when you know what is around you |

I back in whenever I can as well. I read somewhere that in the US, over 500 people get killed per year by being hit by a vehicle backing out of a parking spot, especially young children. Whether that's true or not I dunno, but in any case I want to minimize my chances of adding to that statistic.

Its hard to back out of a parking spot when you’re drunk, so we back in when we get there.

I back in to park out of habit from working in the mining industry.
I still fail to see how it is in any way safer to pull in backwards where you have way more shit to hit that you can't see over backing out in a straight line with nothing behind you. |

It has already been explained. Lots of companies push this as a safety issue.
Back in when you arrive. Easier to depart when you awareness is not up to par yet. |

I sometimes do it for work depending where I go.
Outside of work I rarely do it. Depending on the parking lot, I'll "pull forward" though. |

So, I have a choice of backing into an empty parking space or backing out into traffic. How will I ever choose?
I’ve never understood how this is even a question. |

In the course of my job I once had a habitual criminal tell me that he always backed into parking spots so that he could get in the car and drive off quickly without having to shut the doors by himself to get away.

I back into spaces religiously, however…
In TN there seems to be a plague of dudes backing jacked up trucks with those stupid low profile tires into angled spaces in one way lots. That just screws up everyone else’s travel when they’re now forced to go the wrong way. |

Especially during busy times/events.
My poor wife spent a half hour trying to back out of a parking deck spot after a concert one year. Pulling straight out with good visibility is super quick and easy, especially with impatient/heavy traffic. |

I’ve never understood how this is even a question. Those who are skilled at it have done both and recognize one is superior., from experience. Those who aren't, haven't, and ridicule what they don't understand. I pull through whenever possible, both parking and leaving are quicker, no backing ar all. My wife started doing it half the time on her own, so it must be worthwhile. |

As a former UPS driver I was trained to always back first because the conditions can change and it’s easier to pull out forward then it is to back out.

People with superior intellect know that there will be dew on their windows obscuring vision the next time they use their vehicle. They back in so they can simply utilize their wiper/washer to help them safely exit the next time they use their vehicle.
Clueless dumb asses just pull straight in. |

It is far easier to back a large vehicle in than it is to pull in forward.
