Good grief dude.
I have spent tons of time waiting on some knucklehead to back OUT of a space, and they have to back 3/4s out and into traffic before they can see cross traffic, so they often nearly almost hit you.
Car batteries die all of the time, you are just being obtuse by referencing meteors .
Pull straight in if you want, but those who choose to do differently aren't doing anything stupid or unnecessary. |
If they do it in a timely manner. Again, I spend way too much time waiting on people to back in to a spot badly. Maybe it's limited to my kid's daycare and my work, but those two places appear to have exceptionally slow backers and their capability to park within the lines is very poor.
In contrast, the folks who pull straight in are far more likely to be centered in the lines and do it much more quickly. They also seem more capable of backing out of their spots in a timely manner.
There are exceptions to both, of course, but by far, I spend more time waiting for the back in crowd than I do the back out crowd.
