ASSHOLE PARKING

First mistake, smacking his hand.

 

Thankfully I learned from someone else. Apparently a 2011’s ass end was hanging out in a parking garage, and we came around the corner to see a bicycle cop and the owner staring at black stripes that showed how being pushed up against the car next to it was not where that truck started off. The bed side and bumper were quite wrinkled too, pretty high up so probably a lifted truck hitting it and splitting the scene. He must have had another two feet in front of him free, so I figured it was karma for parking on the corner and not pulling all the way in to the spot.

Thanks to having seen that I always back in. I can get right up to the wall thanks to that camera.

 

I try to back in no matter what. I dont trust people in parking lots and my bed being the first thing out

 

What is benefit of backing in, the time it takes is the same as backing out if went head first

 

Bed extends further over the parking block

 

I was thinking walmart lots, no blocks

 

I avoid Walmart as much as possible because of their tendency to collect the “less stellar” examples of humanity. They park like they look.

 

I guess it’s still in its stall, but it’s parked diagonally in the stall.

 

Easier to get a good look at oncoming traffic before pulling out of spot in most cases.

 

Use the camera and get closer to what ever the end point is, versus trying to judge how far in the front of your vehicle is and then bam the wall is there.

No to mention, its safer to back into a spot, as folks will give you the right a way then, versus when backing out of a spot, the on coming traffic has the right of way and tend not to give you a chance and then bam there is that vehicle, ask me how I know .

Also, its illegal to back out onto some roadways, because its more dangerous.

 

As mentioned already, it's far safer and easier to drive straight out of the stall versus backing out into the roadway.

I would also like to add: it gives you a chance to observe the stall before actually committing to pulling into it. You can see if there is a cart or a motorcycle or a smart car already taking up the stall before you've starting parking into it.

 

Your vehicle is also more agile with the steering being done by the "rear" axle.

Easier to back in straight than pull in straight from a close quarters perpendicular position.

 

Not to pile on, but most parking lot accidents come from backing out, and not being able to simultaneously watch the drivers side, passenger side and traffic behind (cars and pedestrian). If at all possible back in for safety reasons. Not to mention, like @CaptAmerica said, you can get all the way into a spot. Kinda hard to tell where that front point really is on our trucks...let alone any vehicle.

 

Dude. Perfect opportunity to post the photo on instagram, tag the dude using the name on the sticker and comment that he's famous on Tacomaworld.com for being an asshole parker!

 

Ever been to the autobahn? There's many studies that show driving faster is actually safer. Weird right? If everyone drove faster, there'd be less accidents.

 

You get to keep your balls out of a purse.

 

Apples to oranges.

The quality of drivers on the Autobahns vastly surpasses the drivers in the US.

Regardless of the speed traveled, shitty drivers are unsafe.

 

Shitty drivers don't make it on the Autobahn. Oh and if your in an accident on the Autobahn, good luck getting help.

Illustrated my point exactly! Thank you.
