Stop Backing Into Parking Spaces

Experts recommend parking head-in instead of backing into spaces for safety reasons. Backing in can be dangerous and frustrating for several reasons.

It reduces visibility, especially in tight or busy areas, and increases the risk of collisions with vehicles or pedestrians. Even with safety technology,

errors can occur, making it harder to judge space size and distance. Backing in also inconveniences other drivers, as it takes more time to maneuver into the

spot, especially in crowded lots. In some areas, it is illegal to back into parking spaces due to the increased risk when pulling out, as pedestrians and

drivers may not see your brake lights. In most cases, parking head-first is safer and more efficient,

benefiting both you and other drivers. Avoid backing in when possible to reduce risks and save time
