@shillman1 I was told by a police officer that when you back into a spot, you’re most visible to pedestrians at that moment because your vehicle is already in motion. Then, when you go to leave, you as the driver has better vision of those around you, when they’re less likely to see you. — …

@shillman1 Less chance of a parking lot collision if you are driving out of a spot head on as opposed to backing out. I always back into a spot when possible — James Murphy (@rockdaboatNL) Sep 26, 2021 from http://twitter.com/rockdaboatNL via IFTTT

@llmunro @shillman1 At the company I worked for in addition to being required to back into spaces (or pull through) we were always required to walk around the entire vehicle before we got in. It’s a habit I still have. — Jo Maree (@minnesotajo) Sep 26, 2021 from http://twitter.com/minnesotajo via IFTTT

@shillman1 I’ve done it many years, It’s much easier and safer to move a car from the parking spot, looking forward rather than blindsided by something looking both ways. Simply preventing accidentally running over an object or any person leaving my garage or anywhere. — Capt M J Singleton 🇺🇸 (@NavyCaptRet63XX) Sep 26, 2021 from …

@shillman1 Backing out of a parking space in a crowded supermarket lot can be dangerous because of blind spots. More difficult to see people pushing shopping carts behind you and other cars driving by. I don’t do it, but I can understand why some people do. — Usedtobe_JohnRJohnson (@JRobertJohnson4) Sep 26, 2021 from http://twitter.com/JRobertJohnson4 via …

@shillman1 Personally, I drive a crew cab full sized pickup [about 24 feet] and so I try to find a space on the curb and back in so the rear end hangs outside the parking area. If I pull in nose first, the back end sticks out in the aisle. Don’t want to get hit. …

It would seem easy for a son or successor to build on the grand foundation left for them, but in the realm of power the opposite is true. The pampered, indulged son almost always squanders the inheritance, for he does not start with the father’s need to fill a void. — 48 Laws Of Power …

@RonBelman @shillman1 You know what I hate? Trying to back my big SUV out of a space while people selfishly race past, almost causing an accident because various view limiting factors that come w backing out any vehicle. Y’all won’t wait for me to back out, you can damned well wait for me to back …

@shillman1 It’s about LEAVING the parking space safely not the joy of driving in reverse. Imagine being in a small, low car and parking between 2 jacked-up F-150 pickup trucks. Wanna back out and trust your life to the goodness & awareness of humanity? Back in. — Rob in Hawai`i, PhD 🌴 (@rvaughan_hawaii) Sep 26, …

@shillman1 I wondered that too, but then I realized that most with parking spaces you’ll have to either back in when you park, or back out when you leave. Better to back in between parked cars than back out into traffic. But if I find a spot where I can just pull through I’ll take …

@shillman1 I do it all the time. When you back into a spot you can leave that space without a struggle of watching for kids, carts and stupid drivers. I do it where I live because in winter it’s easier to dig out to leave. Also AAA can easily tow me if needed or give …

@shillman1 And I was a true asshole about it. I made them learn in my service van. Full sized, 1 ton, with no windows on back. Had to do it using the mirrors. They can back their little cars into a parking space at full speed. First try every time! 😂😂😂 — ajman (@MandichTony) Sep …

@shillman1 Really? It’s easier to back into a space than back out of one. I thought that was obvious. — Hoover (@Hoover5454) Sep 26, 2021 from http://twitter.com/Hoover5454 via IFTTT

@shillman1 Because when you back into a parking spot you know it’s empty and you know exactly what the space is that is available to you. We had a incident her where a guy backed out and hit a woman and killed her. If he had backed in he would’ve seen her while pulling out. …

@shillman1 When I used to drive a service van, every company I worked for had a policy that stated we had to back into parking spaces. Most accidents in parking lots are caused by people backing out of parking spaces. I taught my daughters to do it. Makes better drivers out of them. — ajman …
