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.

    Is this purely “backing in” or does nose out qualify? I have gotten in the habit of parking away from the doors wherever I go. As a result the back of the lot is usually empty, allowing me to pull through a spot to be nose out in the next. I do this because it’s so much easier to be perfectly set in the parking space. You can usually see in your rear view the lines of the space behind and perfect depth with the back up camera.
