If I could give anyone one driving tip it would be to back in when you’re parking. Alternatively, if you’re in a shopping center, pull through to the other side. The goal is to have the nose of your vehicle pointing out. Here’s why. In some residential areas, backing out of your driveway is actually illegal. And it just plain makes sense. It’s a lot easier to see past other vehicles, hedges, shrubs, fences and whatever else may be near your home if you’re pulling out head on and you’ll get a better view of other cars that may be coming. I think it’s easier to get through snow and slush going forward as opposed to backward. You may also find it’s easier to unload your car once you’ve backed into your driveway. Another reason is no matter if you’re home, out locally or traveling, it’s a lot easier to get a jump start from another car if the nose of your car is easily accessible. If you have a certain place or way of parking, what is it and why do you do it?

Speaking of parking, I had a nightmare last night that I was in a parking lot trying to park and my brakes gave out and I hit a parked cops car! And they wouldn’t believe me that my brakes wouldn’t work. LOL
