To me, it seems objectively easier to pull into a parking space forward and then back out of the space when you are ready to leave. You don’t have to line up with the lines while driving backwards, and it’s easier to keep from hitting other cars as well. So why back in? To me, the only advantage I can think of is that you can get out quicker, technically.

Edit: I do not need driving instruction, just wondered why. The reasoning.

    Do… Do cars not have license plates on both the front and back of the car in the US?

      Depends on the state. For example, Texas does, but its neighbor Arkansas does not (only required a back plate, last I checked).

      Neither of my cars have front plates even though the state requires them
