Re: How do you usually park?
It depends. My standard play is to go in forward, but if it's tight, I might have to back it in.

Re: How do you usually park?
Most people who back in lose time. It is easier (and quicker) to back out of a spot than to back in, and about the same time to pull in forward or leave forward.
Also, they are usually anoying weenies who get in your way, like the jackass who sits blocking the lane waiting for someone to put their stuff in their car and pull out to get the "good spot" when there are more open spots just a few yards away.

[/ QUOTE ] this is only true if you suck at backing up, like most women. if you've ever spent any serious amount of time driving a forktruck you would understand how easy (and often more convenient) it is to back in. forktrucks have rear-wheel steering to make it easier to get into tight spaces. that being said, i pull straight in at home, and back in at work.

Generally backing in. That way if there is ever a starter problem or whatever it is easier to get under the vehicle.

There are those who don't, and they only lose the time it takes to pull past the spot and hit reverse. Those people don't bug me. Also, the "going the wrong way up a parking aisle with slanted spots and backing in" is a fine manoever, though it is funny to watch people who go the wrong way and try to go in forward.

[/ QUOTE ] The answer depends on the space between the 'aisles' of cars - not the width of the space between two individual cars.
