Don't go in forwards. Never understood why people insist on going forwards into a parking bay. Less control, needs more room, harder to leave.
I just assume people that go in forwards can't drive.
Maybe a parking bay refers to something I'm not familiar with, but if it's just a parking lot...backing out to leave is easier than some of the failures I often see backing in, when they could have just pulled in straight. Less control? Parking is something on even the US driving test, which is a joke itself. If you can't park a vehicle then you certainly shouldn't be moving it at speed.
Looking at any parking lot, this means 99% of people can’t drive.
There is certainly a wide swath of the population I wouldn't trust with driving a two ton steel brick, but this is the world that has been built for us.
My logic is that driving into a parking is more difficult than exiting, and that driving backwards is more difficult than driving forward.
So why choose both difficult options when you can make exiting as easy as entering?
I feel like it's also an outlook/mentality thing.
I personally am happy to take a few extra seconds parking, because I see it as spending time to make life easier, faster and safer for my future self when I come to leave.
Zooming in forwards is like "I care about now more than I care about later"
Significantly less turning going in forwards, with the exception of parallel parking where both are pretty even, but some people see you pass a park and go right up your arse even though you wanted to back in.
Also car has great visibility forward and fuck all backwards, rear view mirror is like double the size of the rear window (in the reflection, not side by side).

Yeah - this is exactly why you should reverse park. When you come out again into potentially a stream of traffic, if you reverse park, you're coming out forwards, you can see them & they can see you. If you forward park you have literally no idea what you're backing out into.
If I want to be able to access my trunk easily I will have to go forwards.
Otherwise I always go backwards.
This is the way
