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.
Backing in is a whole lot more work, takes longer and means I have to repark 3-4 times because I can’t tell where the lines are.
Without a backup camera it’s a whole lot harder and it doesn’t make sense to change a habit.
I just started learning to drive a year ago and I’m 40 years old. I can reverse park and get it in there in the first try.
The way I was taught was to align my left/right mirror to the line two spaces away from where I was planning on reversing into. I use the mirror/windows as a guide and I’m done.
I think you can do it, just gotta get the practice in. I mean, that’s only if you care enough. If you’re happy with where you’re at that fine.
