    Significantly less turning going in forwards, with the exception of parallel parking where both are pretty even, but some people see you pass a park and go right up your arse even though you wanted to back in.

    Also car has great visibility forward and fuck all backwards, rear view mirror is like double the size of the rear window (in the reflection, not side by side).

      Yeah - this is exactly why you should reverse park. When you come out again into potentially a stream of traffic, if you reverse park, you’re coming out forwards, you can see them & they can see you. If you forward park you have literally no idea what you’re backing out into.

        We must have different parks, if there’s a car next to me regardless of facing forwards or back, I can’t see shit til I’m half out the park anyway. Part of that is most cars being twice the height of my previously normal sized car I guess, so I can’t see through their windows anymore.
