To me, it seems objectively easier to pull into a parking space forward and then back out of the space when you are ready to leave. You don’t have to line up with the lines while driving backwards, and it’s easier to keep from hitting other cars as well. So why back in? To me, the only advantage I can think of is that you can get out quicker, technically.
Edit: I do not need driving instruction, just wondered why. The reasoning.
Because my HOA doesn’t allow it so I do it anyway as a fuck you to them.
What? Please explain this madness!
It’s so they can repossess your car if you’re behind on payments or don’t update your registration after it expires. They literally hire a towing company to drive around the parking lot and look for vehicles to take. I don’t understand why the HOA cares.
Do you guys not have license plates on the front of cars too?
Not required in my state. And I’m glad because front license plates look stupid. They ruin the car’s appearance.
… american HOAs are fucked
i have legitimately never heard a single positive thing about HOAs. i don’t think they exist in australia?… like we have owners corporations and stratas but i think they don’t have nearly the same power
We have Covenants at least in Victoria - https://www.planning.vic.gov.au/guides-and-resources/guides/all-guides/restrictive-covenants
Honestly, they’re kinda stupid and should have a mandatory end or review date, mine has stupid clauses like you can’t park a commerical vehicle within visibility of the street and restricts the material used for fencing etc
