People who back into parking spots: Why? - lemm.ee

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.

I can do both just as easily. I really depends on if I’m going to be using the trunk or not. Believe it or not it’s actually illegal to back in a lot of states. Cops are supposed to be able to see your license plate easily.
Do… Do cars not have license plates on both the front and back of the car in the US?
Depends on the state. For example, Texas does, but its neighbor Arkansas does not (last I checked).
Arkansan here. Can confirm.
