Reverse park or pull in forward. Which one are you?

[AntiGanda]

I have not reversed into a parking, normal and parallel since doing my driving test.

Did you have those little toy cars and trucks as a child?

Depends on the traffic.

If people are waiting in queues I'm not going ot reverse park.

If there is nothing going on then sure.

Also depends on the parking and how I need access to the car. If I have baby in the back I might choose to reverse park or not depending on what's available.

If it's about protecting my doors being smashed by the idiot next door I'll also park accordingly.

I'm referring to reversing into a normal parking bay.

Almost never.

 

[PsYTraNc3]

Reverse park. always!

 

[AstroTurf]

Dinner, movies or walkabout = reverse.
Shopping (loading) or unloading boot, normal.

yes, me and my friend used to play with cars. Why?

Pull in and reverse out. Occasionally I'll pull through one spot and into the one in front thus giving the illusion that I reverse parked.

Straight in. Cannot get the pram out if i reverse park.

This is how boys learn to reverse cars, and why girls have trouble to begin with.

Not sure if serious or joking. :wtf:

He could be on to something.

Reverse park always. Except when pulling into the garage. Ramp to high.

For normal parking bays, I almost always drive in head first. That way the boot is easier to get to. If I see a bay very late, I will reverse in though. For parallel parking I always reverse. I've seen some people drive in head first, but it just seems crazy. I think that you need a small car or lots of moves to do it that way.

At work , I "pull in forward"
At shopping centers , I tried to reverse park. But the problem is that when I return with a trolley, I can't get the trolley close the the boot of the car to load the bags in. Sometimes, I pull in forward and if the parking bay directly opposite is open, I drive forward into it. Then when I'm leaving, it's as if I had reversed into the parking. ( hope that makes sense)

 

[Fudzy]

If I'm in a dodgy area or parked on a verge I go reverse park, otherwise just pull in forward.

 

[HavocXphere]

Sideways of course

/nah forward...usually look for two open bays so that I can drive through & effectively end up as if I reversed.

 

[3WA]

Pull in forward. Can't see how it is possible to be faster reversing into a restricted area (parking bay) than reversing into an empty lane on exiting the parking.

 

[Fulcrum29]

Depends on the parking space and my allowable room to park therein.

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

Really strange with this;
Everywere else besides home, pull foward,
Otherwise at home reverse in
