Backing Into Parking Spots

[Masao]

Get a backing camera

Or a transparent car

 

[Finnish your Czech]

So does practice.

If you relied solely on backup cameras, you'd be lost if you ever had to reverse park in a car that didn't have a camera.

What if you don't solely use back up cameras?

Or a transparent car

Would smash

Depending on the car it's sometimes easier

When I drive my own car it's small and I have good visibility of the front bumper, so it's very easy to just drive into a spot

When I drive my dad's car it's wider and has a poor turning circle, and I can't really see the front bumper well so I feel it's more likely to hit another car if I'm going in a space with a car either side, so I reverse in using the mirrors, using which I can actually see how close the rear is to the other cars

Also sometimes it's just more convenient to reverse in, and drive straight out when you leave wherever you are

Then there'd be no issue. As long as the driver is not dependent on the camera, he/she should manage without one.

lmao Dustin Peener, that scene at Thorpe Park where Jay gets impatient with Simon's parking and rips the door off.

"I'm not waiting any longer"

"I'm not waiting any longer"

"the clunge are getting away!"

 

[Hammettf2b]

Sounds like OP doesn't know how to quickly back into a parking spot.

 

[Peter Griffin]

And it's easier when leaving given you have full view of any cars or people.

Driving instructors suggest backing into parking spots for this very reason.

If you'd still wreck it even though it's transparent, you shouldn't be driving at all IMO

 

[InfinityIggy]

My only problem with it is a lot of people that back into the spot do a **** job of it and end up on top of one of the lines.

Other than that go for it.

I remember this lady trying to back into a parking spot at costco. It took her like 5 minutes and the whole parking lane was clogged up. I was right behind her and I decided to just wait, but behind me it was honking symphony in B minor

Probably was just trying not to hit the Jangling Man statue

 

[Bones Malone]

That's pretty embarrassing considering Costco has giant parking spaces

They did until they put a Jangling Man statue in each one

 

[dogbazinho]

I have a backup camera and can be more precise.

 

[Flukeshot]

It's all about that pull through action.

 

[TheOtherSide]

Back in so you don't kill someone while backing out.

 

[Plural]

Sometimes I have to back in to the spot. Our car doesn't turn that sharply.

...into another car trying to back into a parking space

 

[tony d]

I agree, backing in does make more sense.

 

[LarryFisherman]

I can't backup for ****, but I've driven a sub 2:00 lap in an e92 M3 at Laguna Seca.

Does that mean I'm a bad driver?

Yes off course.

Yup.

 

[Engebretson]

I back into my parking spot at work in the morning because it's less busy than in the afternoon when I leave. Backing into the spot in the mornings means I don't have to crane my neck around to check for cars roaming behind me when I leave during the busier afternoons.

 

[RayP]

Yup.

get out of here.
