Right, that's my point. When you're parking with your hood-in, it may be faster initially, but it takes longer when you're leaving. The reverse is true when you're parking trunk-in. But you also get the other benefits of parking trunk-in, like visibility and being able to get into tighter spaces. Visibility is also just more important when you're leaving the spot, since y'know, pedestrians and traffic are easier to see.
Backup cameras exist. In fact parking in reverse is increasingly popular because they were added, because most people do not have the ability without the cameras to maneuver their cars in reverse.
And again, you're adding delay for everyone's parking activities for nobody's benefit except your own. When you're backing out, you're perhaps adding delay to only people who are on their way to leave, but a person looking to park can just take your spot.
Whether you reverse in or reverse out, you're going to slow traffic. However, if you reverse in, your visibility is better when you leave, it's an overall net time save.
Again, when you're reversing out, someone can take your spot (the person who was held up by you leaving). When you reverse in, you're holding others up just so you can take up a spot. They get to sit there and watch you fumble parking in reverse for absolutely zero benefit to them.
Not necessarily, maybe the person being held up by you reversing out is trying to leave.
You hold up those people as well when you're reversing in.
And I'd be holding them up if I was reversing out lol.
Ah, I see. You can't do basic math. That tracks.
