This is why I dont attempt it, unless the parking lot/garage requires it.

I still suck at it

Bingo. Driving a big truck for work, it's become a habit to back into any space with any vehicle

Atticus808 · 01-20-2016, 07:13 PM

I've seen so many close calls with people backing out and pedestrians not paying attention at the grocery store

I've nearly had my car backed into by some idiot reversing from a parking space.

That was when I've had it for less than two weeks.

I appreciate what you're saying. They can't drive forwards or backwards.

I just had it nearly happen to me again. While I was between the two cars.

To be fair though, I was picking up some people and I didn't want to park my car. I probably should have. Still, the lack of attention irks me.

OT slightly but not by much:

I can't count how many times that I have been minding my own business, driving down yer average limited access, multi lane highway and had some Yahoo in a pickup truck change lanes without warning right on top of me. I've decided that they can't see me below the window frame of their jacked up F-250 or Chevy Silverado. Otherwise, how can they miss a bright orange, sexy car like my FR-S?

The best one, though, without any doubt, was the time I was driving down an eight lane toll road at the 75 mph speed limit, just before sunrise and suddenly encountered a DOG HOUSE, painted BLACK, lying in the middle of my lane on its roof. I saw it just in time to swerve to avoid it. It felt like a Fellini movie.

It's even worse with smartphones. BRB browsing facebook after pulling out an inch. If you honk, they just take longer...

Someone needs to post that video of the lady in Canada that literally did a 50 point turn in order to get out of a parking spot....and in the process I believe hit another car...then taking off.

Found it.
