I've yet to see anyone who can back in to a spot as quickly as they can pull into it. If that's you, then do your thing.

You should see the boat I drive. If it’s a single spot between 2 cars, backing in is significantly faster and easier.

That being said, I usually park a far away from anyone and pull through. That’s the easiest for me and is the best of both worlds.

Yeah, but pulling straight out of a spot is a lot quicker than backing out of it. At some point, there is a chance where someone will have to wait, wheather that be waiting for them to back in to the spot or back out of the spot, just depends on your timing. Back in, back out, It just never came up on my radar as something to get upset about.

i can back in faster than pull in straight for my truck. Now, that’s probably slower than what a small sedan with a short wheel base can pull into a spot straight. But comparing apples to apples, backing in is faster. But I also very rarely will ever not get it ins straight the first time.
