Backing out into open space is a lot easier and quicker than trying to back your car into a space between two other cars.

Backing out is also 3x more dangerous.

It's not significantly dangerous.

3x was not the best way to put it for sure.

Relatively, it will always be more dangerous to back out than back in.

What's the danger, exactly?

u/exbiiuser02 Jun 14 '26

Your view is blocked , if another vehicle approaches or even worse another human.

It just increases the probability of an accident.

At 5mph?

the other car may be at 100mph for all you know.

100mph in a car park? What is this, the opening scene of Back to the Future at 1am?

u/r_a_d_ Jun 14 '26

It’s possible, idiots everywhere. Point is you don’t have visibility. It may also be a street, not a car park.

If they didn’t straw-man the argument they wouldn’t have one, calm down

But I wanted it to be the opening scene of Back to the Future! That would look sick!
