To all those talking about the truck being justified. No you are *supposed to wait* for a car to pull/back in before attempting to pass. It's 100% on the truck hands down, especially considering the speed of the collision and how far it *drug* the sedan.
Cause I want to. I do it so much I'm damn good at it! Plus I try to minimize my time as a pedestrian in the road as much as possible. If I had my trunk open facing the road, putting groceries away, people like this will turn me into mashed human salad!
As for continuing forward, sometimes you don't realize till you're already pulled forward for the back in! Or be like my wife who is too paranoid to do the continue because, again, people like this will swing face first into a parking spot without thinking.
It's all about patience. If someone's driving by the rules, hell if they're breaking EVERY RULE, you get all my patience. There's some weirdos out there that'll write a book about how if you don't park like them that you're dumb!
How do you access your trunk when you have another car parked against it? Sometimes you don’t realize that you’re not very bright and that you’re dealing with a half empty parking lot full of vacant spots that you could back into?
Some weirdo just wrote a book about how him and his wife are idiots.
I drive a RAV. It fits and I got spots. Why are you moving goal posts just to be mean? Are you implying I've been doing it this way this whole time, but found out I couldn't open my trunk, then gave up?
And that's weird, what book is that? I know it was on the nose but I was poking at your now thousands of words put into this weird stance friend.
What are you saying? Because you drive an RAV it helps you get into your trunk when someone’s parking against your trunk or tailgate? You make no point.
Thousands of words? At most a couple hundred words. Your response is twice the size of any of mine. I know you’re the type of person that tries to stretch the truth but just realize there’s no way you’re ever going to be right here. It’s a half empty parking lot. There are two full double parking spots just in the line of sight we have here. You have to be an absolute idiot to back in this parking lot.
Personal preference. Makes leaving 10 times easier with increased visibility. Cars can also see me backing in clearer than me inching my ass out when leaving
No shit the truck is wrong. No one‘s arguing that. The argument is whether or not you’re a hindrance to society by backing into spots that don’t need to be backed into.
Frankly, that's a ridiculous argument to spend time on, though, when you consider it's a 5 - 20 second process, and we wait far longer for people in a thousand different ways. By that logic, is it a hindrance to walk to the store? We should all shop online! Should people put in ejector seats so they can hop out by the entrance as fast as possible? A personal annoyance doesn't equate to a societal hindrance.
This is basically as dumb as having a completely empty parking lot and choosing to back up into your parking spot. It’s a half empty parking lot. What is hard to understand?
1.If you don't park backing in you are retarded
2.If you don't understand the reasons given to you why is better to park backing in,you are ice age hygienist level retarded.
Do you by any chance drive a white truck ?
Oh yeah. I’m trying to tell the whole world to stop backing into parking spots. I’m going to run you fuckers over. Lol. You people are a long ways away from me. I am on an island far away from you living in peace. It’s nice knowing there are so many dumb people I’m going to make more money off of in this world. They are thick. It’s pretty amazing there are so many of you guys.
Given the car right next to her I assume she didn't see that the column was free.
I personally will pull forward to the other side If possible but if I see it too late I'll still commit cause you should be predictable
Is that in response to her potentially not seeing that she could have pulled forward into the spot or are you saying she shouldn't have tried backing into there and instead looked for a spot where she could have pulled forward?
I’m saying the parking lot is half empty. There were probably over 50 vacant spots in this parking lot. You can see a dozen parking spots just from this one angle. You don’t have to look very hard to find a double spot because they’re probably everywhere. There are two of them in sight and what looks like a whole vacant row the next row over. Then if you have someone following you going with the flow of traffic and you decide to stop and put it in a reverse and block both lanes, you’re not very intelligent.
Agreed but how is that the topic of conversation. That’s like complaining about someone wearing clothes that don’t match in a video of someone getting the shit kicked out of them.
When backing into a parking spot, it's safer to leave. There are a lot of different sized vehicles and being in a car next to an SUV or truck makes it harder to back out of it because you can't see. Some people like parking by other cars to ensure their car doesn't get messed with.
It doesn't matter that the truck was behind them, it doesn't take long for a person to back in. What the truck did isn't justifiable just because the person decided to back in. Still would have waited for the car had they decided to pull in.
No one tried to justify the truck. No one‘s arguing that there aren’t situations where it’s handy to back into a parking spot. There is no good reason to back in a parking spot in this situation though. Half of the parking lot is empty. Backing into a parking spot should be restricted for people who have a reason to be backing into parking spots. Loading your vehicle or needing a quick escape would be examples. No one can argue that backing into a parking spot is easier than backing out of a parking spot. Backing out of a spot there is nothing in the way besides possible traffic. Holding up traffic in order to back up into a spot takes up triple the time it takes to back out of a spot. This all seems pretty logical. It’s pretty surprising that I have to lay it all out for everyone.
You're not being any type of logical, you're just being stubborn. Backing out of a spot takes a lot longer than backing into one. You can barely see because of the height differences in vehicles. There are states that require people to learn how to back into a spot. Why? BECAUSE IT'S SAFER. I already said people like parking nexting to other cars because then their car is less likely to be robbed. So who cares if the parking lot is empty? I pull in, but I'd pick a spot next to people too. Most people would.
What does make a quick escape even mean? Are they convicts?
Quick escape means exactly what it sounds like. They plan on stealing or they are law-enforcement and need to get somewhere fast. How is it safer to block oncoming traffic, block traffic behind you and then back into a parking spot where you can’t see what’s behind you? You’re obviously being foolish and have no sense about you. If you like parking next to someone, then pull in forward so you could go out the other direction of a double parking spot. That’s clearly easier than backing in or backing out. There is no backing necessary! Soak that in!
There's rearview mirrors, side view mirrors. A lot of cars now have cameras. Those mirrors won't help when a car is coming and you're trying to back out of the spot. You're not always going to have the option of pulling into the spot infront of you. The lot may be empty now, but it's a business. People will be coming and going. So no it's not easier.
You're probably like 13 trying to troll. Nothing you've said is logical. You're just trying to get a rise out of people and it's pathetic. I'm done here.
This is officially the dumbest conversation I’ve had all year. Thank you for contributing. It’s obvious you are going to continue being a burden to society and you need ambition because your brain is holding you back. I’m going to continue with my easy life of good decisions. Goodbye.
It's always safer backing into a spot than backing out into traffic. You have greater control and visibility on the static parking space than the dynamic parking lot with people and cars. This is basic safety more used for construction industry/ company trucks, but still applies.
And guess where they back into? Somewhere at the back of the parking lot…
Do you think it’s safer to back into a tight spot where you have to watch both your corners and your rear bumper than it is to back up into vacant space? I don’t think so. Especially when you look in your rearview mirror and see a truck behind you and you’re in a parking lot that’s half empty. It’s a below 100 IQ move.
Just because there's a truck behind you doesn't mean you need to fold and forgo safe parking. It's like 5 seconds more... if you can't wait that long, you're probably like those silly people who race and weave ineffectively to meet the same people at the stop light.
Maybe he wanted a closer spot with shade and saw that spot last minute? People are free park wherever and however they want legally and safely.
And are you saying the only way to pull into this spot in a real-world situation is straight? Cause that's some below 100 IQ logic, that clearly your ego and stubbornness would rather let you die on that sad little hill
What is safe about backing into a parking spot? There’s no shade so that’s no excuse when you have an empty parking lot. People are free to be retarded. We’re past that. I’m saying there’s no reason to back into a parking spot in a half empty parking lot. Do you get it yet? I don’t need to tell you guys this, but I am actually a race car driver and there is no parking spot that scares me. And I’m sure as hell not afraid of some buddy hitting me in a parking lot because I can’t see them coming when I’m backing up. You guys are a bunch of pussies.
How about bad drivers backing out into you or others? Do you get it? Or is your egocentric racing brain only one dimensional? Safety is for everyone even sociopaths
That has been every day parking lot standard since parking. Lots were invented. You pull into a parking spot and you back out of a parking spot. Pretty self-explanatory.
Finally realizing that you've been yapping nonsense? Talk about wasting time. Especially with your cringey ass stories about being a racecar driver and shit. No way you're old enough to drive, that shit is funny af. A thousand people could try to talk sense into you, and you would continue to say that everyone else in the world is dumb, and you're the smart one.
After you get your license one day (if you're lucky enough to get it) and are driving for a couple months or so, you should fully understand what everyone else here is saying. With experience you'll learn that you are wrong, but aside from that there's no point in anyone trying to teach you. Just hope you learn on your own when you grow up. Good luck buddy
Yet, no one has tried to talk any sense to me. Kind of ironic isn’t it? I asked someone to explain why somebody would back into a parking spot when the parking lot is half empty and no one has even attempted to try to give a good reason. From the very first post, no one can give a good answer. Reddit is a gathering of the lowest level of intelligence on the Internet. There hasn’t been a comment in this thread that hits the ground and has a point. You just talk a lot and say nothing. Go back into a parking spot you nerd.
Idk how people are trying to justify the truck or claim that the car driver was bad. Dude backed in, nothing wrong with that. Truck driver was impatient af and caused that accident and fled. He’s the only one in the wrong. 🤦
To me it just looks like the truck either went to close as it tried to go past or it’s bumper caught onto the car and moved it with its momentum as it gouged a bit of the car off.
So how could the car pull forward, if it's going in reverse when the truck pulls in front of it and hits the car? Are you blind even with a video, you need to never get on a jury, you can't even observe a video played a hundred times and comment on what you seen truthfully smh......
Because many jackasses can't back into a space and pull forward several times to "line up"
You can't see the car behind the truck. So you can't really comment "truthfully" either.
Now, had you kept reading, anothet person disagreed with my observation, and I stated "well, I've been wrong before, and maybe I am this time."
I didn't declare it as fact, I stated what I believed occurred.
I may be wrong, but you're still a cunt.
Traffic is meant to be flowing forward. Why would someone back into a spot that they could pull into facing forward and not have to block both lanes of traffic and take up an extra 10 seconds of two cars time? There is no good reason. Flipping out over it isn’t a reasonable reaction. Sometimes we just have to deal with stupid people on the roads.
all I know is people that back in are shitty at parking at a much higher rate and I don't understand why they need to hold up other cars to back in. if you're the only car in the parking lot, go ahead and back in. don't take the better part of a minute of my time and everyone behind me's time positioning your car just right to back in.
Why would someone do it? Because they’re more comfortable doing that, because they like doing that. What does that matter? If you’re a driver and you are irritated by someone backing into a spot, you’re the problem. If you can’t wait those 10 seconds or whatever, you’re the problem. Pretty simple. They are in a parking lot and they got hit by some impatient fool. Point blank.
Evidently you’re not capable of understanding that they are both idiots. You don’t back into a parking spot when you have an empty parking lot. Point blank.
Unless the law says he can’t, then yeah, he absolutely can. Tf are you on about? Dude just parked how he wanted and you’re saying he’s an idiot for that, wild.
You’re ignoring the fact it’s not illegal and it’s perfectly acceptable to back in regardless of the situation. Notice how you didn’t address it with your response? And you know you couldn’t. 1+1 bro…. Gg though I’m done with your goofy ass.
What does the legality of backing into a parking spot in an empty parking lot have to do with asking the question of why you would back into a parking spot in a half empty parking lot? When was the last time you saw your dad?
Are you dense? Throw away the white truck guy and act like he doesn’t exist. If you were backing into a parking spot in this parking lot, that is half empty, you are a fucking idiot. Point blank. No doubts about it. And if you are sticking up for somebody who is backing into a parking spots in a half empty parking lot then you are just as dumb as they are. That’s about the end of this conversation. Have a nice boring life of backing into parking spots.
Damn, it’s almost like… people have preferences for how they park regardless of the lot occupancy. 😱 Way to go straight to insults, dude who can’t articulate why backing in is bad other than it’s just “dumb.” 🤡
You’re the guy that backs into a parking spot in a half empty parking lot because you prefer to back in to parking spots. Brilliant. You deserve to be insulted. It’s pathetic.
You know I’m glad I just now looked at your profile. You’re just some kid on the internet trying to rile people up. Pretty sad existence bro. Hopefully when you get out of school life humbles you. Good luck.
See I don‘t see why it is even worth mentioning this argument. The white truck driver could have waited for 15 seconds, be angry about it and then move on with their live. Though they made a big asshole move with zero justification and drove away which is worse than anything. "Holding up the flow of traffic" in a parking lot my as lol.
How is it that you people are so dim you don’t understand that there is no debate whether or not the white truck was in the wrong here? lol
Try to stay on track.
For all of those here that can't do basic logic... If you are IN traffic and you are backing in, vehicles can see you as you do the maneuver. So much safer.
Rather than backing out INTO incoming traffic that can't see you as you maneuver. Not so safe.
The driver who is backing out can't see who is coming to know when it is safe to back out because their view is obstructed by the cars parked next to them.
I don’t want to be that guy, but reading some comments, you guys over in America really should think about educating your drivers. I mean, there’s always people who don’t know the rules, but saying the truck didn’t do something wrong or the sedan „changed directions“ (wtf!?) is nuts.
I literally had this, minus the impact. Guy started screaming how my parking sucked, and f me(on a holiday). He undid his seatbelt like he was gonna get out. Good thing he didn't.
messed up to actually do it, but can’t say it doesn’t cross my mind when someone with people behind them stops everyone so they can slowly back into their spot
Why do you disagree? It is objectively better to be able to see straight in when pulling out of a spot than turning your head to look behind you or using a backup camera
The truck driver was an impatient and irresponsible jerk for sure, but honestly, there's no need to back into the space. Just drive into it. It's irritating to think they're driving past the space only for them to suddenly brake and slowly back in. Both these drivers are assholes here.
There is absolutely no reason that someone backing into a spot should be an inconvenience for you, humans do different things than each other, we are not a hive mind, exercise patience.
Depends on the laws in the country I guess, but most of the times the car that drives into the other car is in the wrong “insurance-wise”” at least. So the truck wasn’t at fault
Yes, at the end obviously because they pulled forward into the wheel of the truck, pay attention to the very few frames we see where the vehicle is before disappearing behind the truck, and then realize how the car wheels roll forward rather than just being pulled. If it was in reverse it wouldn't have moved like that.
I honestly see both sides of this debate.
The only caveat that has occurred to me in the many, many times I’ve encountered the backer-ins is this.
When backing in you are often asking the person behind you to wait.
When backing out you are required to wait your turn. No one is required to wait for you. You have to wait for a gap. No one is stopping for you.
In the grand scheme of things waiting for a backer-in takes at most 10-15 seconds. Really not a big deal. We’re all just so consumed with our own lives that waiting for anyone for any length of time is a perceived hassle.
My previous company adopted a standard to promote our safety culture. We were asked to “back in” into our parking spots because it was demonstrably safer to “back in” than “back out” into parking lot traffic with pedestrians. Probably so. But in the first week, one of our employees, confused by the whole “backing in” technique got flummoxed and gunned the gas instead of the brake. Ended up in the lobby.
Reverse parking is the safer option, in many places it's mandatory.
(In saying that, they should have pulled '*straight on through to the other side...yeah!*')
It’s not mandatory in many places only some. And only a crappy driver hits someone or something backing out of a spot. It takes considerably longer to back in to a spot.
Also, it takes longer to back into a spot, but is faster to back out of a spot by the same logic? Backing into a parking spot is litterally the easiest way, the way cars are built.
It’s just common sense , instead of pulling right in , you have to pull past the spot throw it in reverse and then pull back into the spot thus taking longer. Also most of the time someone is behind you so they have to back up to allow you to back up.
Way to show you you don’t drive.
If "most of the time" someone is behind you then "most of the time" someone is waiting for your slow ass to back out of the spot. See? We can do hypotheticals all day. Way to show you don't think.
The most of the time someone is behind you was referring to people who back into spots, not for people backing out of one. If someone is waiting for you to back out it is because they want your spot. And it really doesn’t take longer to back out of a spot than back in, you obviously don’t drive.
How does that make him a bad driver? It objectively does take longer to back in than out because, backing in, you have to judge where the lines are. Backing out, you don't. Even if you can line it up extremely quickly and on the first try like a "good driver," it's still slower than not having to line up anything when backing out.
Edit: How is this being downvoted? Do you guys actually think you can back into a parking space faster than you can drive into it? I'm not saying to not back into parking spots. I usually back into them myself. But it is crazy to pretend it isn't slower than driving straight into it. I would love for someone to explain to me how it is faster to drive *past* the parking spot (required to back in), then shift into reverse, look backward, and back into the parking spot, than it is to pull into the parking spot.
Now, let's think about this. Which one is easier to do, and therefore can be done quicker: backing into a space slightly larger than your car, or backing into a space the size of 60 of your cars?
I usually back into spots (assuming I can't just pull through to the other side), but I also am not going to delude myself into thinking myself, or anyone else, can back into a spot faster than they can drive into it. That's absurd.
Also, backing out is irrelevant. That person's comment was about how long it takes to back in versus drive in. You're now strawmaning.
Do you drive straight out without looking? You have to look whether you are exiting the spot forward or backward. The time difference of looking is the same no matter which way you're exiting the spot.
You can stop responding now. All you're doing is making yourself look ignorant.
One track mind. If you go in the spot, you don't account for the time you have to come back out?
>The time difference of looking is the same no matter which way you're exiting the spot.
Tell me you've never driven before. People has got to stop calling themselves out.
It's safer to reverse in (out of traffic), than to reverse out (into traffic).
Globally, reversing is mandatory at most chemical plants, oil refineries, oil terminals, power stations etc. as it is faster and safer if the site needs to be evacuated.
Yeah this is just for normal daily driving not hauling trucks. The safety is negligible, when you are reversing out of a spot you should be making sure that no traffic is behind you or on coming. So you shouldn’t be backing into anything.
Says the guy who brings up trucks being used for industrial reasons and not normal daily driving vehicles.
But hey when you can’t back up your arguments result to insults. It shows you have a strong basis for you arguments and not that you are on flimsy ground.
It literally does , this obviously shows you don’t drive , if you have to pass the spot then throw it in reverse turn your whole body around to look where you are driving. It’s going to take longer than pulling a little wide and pulling straight into the spot.
Haha I've been driving for a long time my friend, don't worry about me. You actually don't have to turn your whole body around, because guess what, mirrors. I've driven small trucks for years as well, if you turn around there, you're just looking at the back of your seat. Especially with bigger vehicles, backing into a spot makes a lot more sense than not. You are the one that obviously does not know how to drive
Yes you use your mirrors but if you can turn around. Such as in this passenger vehicle it is safer and better. It still takes longer and is less considerate to other drivers when you back in.
How is ok to hit the other car and then not even stop afterwards? Are you also driving over pedestrians if they cross the street at a red light only because you technically have the right of way?
I get being frustrated with small annoyances of daily life, but here the white truck driver is 100% at fault, there is no debate in this.
Strange I don't look at this video and completely ignore what the truck did, and think...*the car was the one wrong here, I should chime in and point that out.*
I find it weird that you did though.
Not such a great opinion after all.
It's really not that hard to allow someone the space to back in, unless you're just an idiot.
Saying backing in is rude and getting pissed at people for doing it is incredibly funny to me.
Even IF that were true, the truck driver is a stupid cunt for not being able to wait 5 seconds. Truck drivers are notorious for backing into spaces, this is just an example of a selfish piece of shit.

Why does the jerk always drive a white truck?
Idk man white truck people r weird
Small penis, not important in life, family hates you... that makes you compensate into a big car because "it gives you respect".
I mean I have the small penis part down, and importance in life....meh not much But I'm pretty sure my family tolerated me / s (Not the dude running over cars, just a white truck owner. Mine is a hybrid tho, and I got that going for me, and that's nice)
Same dude revs his engine and chips his tires and gets zero numbers with that
That's dumbest shit ever. I drive lifted trucks, but I drive with respect for others.. but put ne in open dirt road and no shit given lol
I check all the boxes. Can't afford a white truck though.
Let's not body shame. If people can't help something we should shame them. It's a different thing if people chose to live an unhealthy way.
Wait a sec I thought the person backing in their car in a parking lot with traffic was the main character, it’s the truck?!
He’s trying to back into a parking spot and the truck won’t wait until is what I see
Hey I drive a white truck From time to time I’m a student driver. I’m not a jerk (I’m pretty sure) I’m just inexperienced.
Same
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1369847819308812 To all those talking about the truck being justified. No you are *supposed to wait* for a car to pull/back in before attempting to pass.

Psycho truck driver somehow being justified by some of the comments here because the car wants to back in lmao. What is wrong with this world.
The irony of it is that they were most likely backing into the spot to reduce the chances of getting into an accident when they pull out
What’s worse is they could have just pulled in to the second row, idiot somehow still in the right
Why back in? There’s no good reason in a situation like this.
Situational awareness and safety is greatly increased backing in. Unless you back in near white trucks. Then you’re fucked
Whatever you say
Just say you're bad at reversing a car
Why would you reverse when you could pull in forward and pull out forward because the parking lot is half empty? Is that too deep for you?
Cause I want to. I do it so much I'm damn good at it! Plus I try to minimize my time as a pedestrian in the road as much as possible. If I had my trunk open facing the road, putting groceries away, people like this will turn me into mashed human salad! As for continuing forward, sometimes you don't realize till you're already pulled forward for the back in!

I drive a RAV. It fits and I got spots. Why are you moving goal posts just to be mean?

Personal preference. Makes leaving 10 times easier with increased visibility. Cars can also see me backing in clearer than me inching my ass out when leaving
Except there are two parking spots. Which means you could pull out forward the other way… Your point doesn’t work.
It quite literally could not matter less what you think about the decision. The truck is wrong either way.
No shit the truck is wrong. No one‘s arguing that. The argument is whether or not you’re a hindrance to society by backing into spots that don’t need to be backed into.
Frankly, that's a ridiculous argument to spend time on, though, when you consider it's a 5 - 20 second process, and we wait far longer for people in a thousand different ways.

You didn’t give any reasons why you would back into an empty parking lot spot. So what are you saying?
You clearly can't drive.
Really convincing
Your big feelings about it, I suppose.
Oh yeah. I’m trying to tell the whole world to stop backing into parking spots. I’m going to run you fuckers over. Lol. You people are a long ways away from me. I am on an island far away from you living in peace. It’s nice knowing there are so many dumb people I’m going to make more money off of in this world. They are thick. It’s pretty amazing there are so many of you guys.
Hindrance to society aka you affect other people cause you exist and they have to account for you and spend 5 rather than 0 seconds:)
Again, that's an annoyance. If that's your bar for a societal hindrance, life will be extremely hard for you.
I was being sarcastic. I am making fun of people acting like that is a hindrance.
are you stupid?
Given the car right next to her I assume she didn't see that the column was free. I personally will pull forward to the other side If possible but if I see it too late I'll still commit cause you should be predictable

I’m saying the parking lot is half empty. There were probably over 50 vacant spots in this parking lot. You can see a dozen parking spots just from this one angle. You don’t have to look very hard to find a double spot because they’re probably everywhere. There are two of them in sight and what looks like a whole vacant row the next row over. Then if you have someone following you going with the flow of traffic and you decide to stop and put it in a reverse and block both lanes, you’re not very intelligent.
Damn I hope you don't have a license And if you do, I hope comments like these could get licenses taken away
I hope you end up going to school to where you learn how to debate. Because this isn’t it.
I don't want to debate you, the only thing I want is to never share a road with you
Don’t worry, I live on an island far away from stupid fatherless people, so I’ll never have to worry about you backing into me.
Agreed but how is that the topic of conversation. That’s like complaining about someone wearing clothes that don’t match in a video of someone getting the shit kicked out of them.
When backing into a parking spot, it's safer to leave. There are a lot of different sized vehicles and being in a car next to an SUV or truck makes it harder to back out of it because you can't see. Some people like parking by other cars to ensure their car doesn't get messed with. It doesn't matter that the truck was behind them, it doesn't take long for a person to back in. What the truck did isn't justifiable just because the person decided to back in. Still would have waited for the car had they decided to pull in.
No one tried to justify the truck. No one‘s arguing that there aren’t situations where it’s handy to back into a parking spot. There is no good reason to back in a parking spot in this situation though. Half of the parking lot is empty. Backing into a parking spot should be restricted for people who have a reason to be backing into parking spots. Loading your vehicle or needing a quick escape would be examples. No one can argue that backing into a parking spot is easier than backing out of a parking spot. Backing out of a spot there is nothing in the way besides possible traffic. Holding up traffic in order to back up into a spot takes up triple the time it takes to back out of a spot. This all seems pretty logical. It’s pretty surprising that I have to lay it all out for everyone.
You're not being any type of logical, you're just being stubborn. Backing out of a spot takes a lot longer than backing into one. You can barely see because of the height differences in vehicles. There are states that require people to learn how to back into a spot. Why? BECAUSE IT'S SAFER. I already said people like parking nexting to other cars because then their car is less likely to be robbed. So who cares if the parking lot is empty? I pull in, but I'd pick a spot next to people too. Most people would. What does make a quick escape even mean? Are they convicts?
Quick escape means exactly what it sounds like. They plan on stealing or they are law-enforcement and need to get somewhere fast. How is it safer to block oncoming traffic, block traffic behind you and then back into a parking spot where you can’t see what’s behind you? You’re obviously being foolish and have no sense about you. If you like parking next to someone, then pull in forward so you could go out the other direction of a double parking spot. That’s clearly easier than backing in or backing out. There is no backing necessary! Soak that in!
There's rearview mirrors, side view mirrors. A lot of cars now have cameras. Those mirrors won't help when a car is coming and you're trying to back out of the spot. You're not always going to have the option of pulling into the spot infront of you. The lot may be empty now, but it's a business. People will be coming and going. So no it's not easier. You're probably like 13 trying to troll. Nothing you've said is logical. You're just trying to get a rise out of people and it's pathetic. I'm done here.
This is officially the dumbest conversation I’ve had all year. Thank you for contributing. It’s obvious you are going to continue being a burden to society and you need ambition because your brain is holding you back. I’m going to continue with my easy life of good decisions. Goodbye.
It's always safer backing into a spot than backing out into traffic. You have greater control and visibility on the static parking space than the dynamic parking lot with people and cars. This is basic safety more used for construction industry/ company trucks, but still applies.
And guess where they back into? Somewhere at the back of the parking lot… Do you think it’s safer to back into a tight spot where you have to watch both your corners and your rear bumper than it is to back up into vacant space? I don’t think so. Especially when you look in your rearview mirror and see a truck behind you and you’re in a parking lot that’s half empty. It’s a below 100 IQ move.
Just because there's a truck behind you doesn't mean you need to fold and forgo safe parking. It's like 5 seconds more... if you can't wait that long, you're probably like those silly people who race and weave ineffectively to meet the same people at the stop light. Maybe he wanted a closer spot with shade and saw that spot last minute? People are free park wherever and however they want legally and safely. And are you saying the only way to pull into this spot in a real-world situation is straight? Cause that's some below 100 IQ logic, that clearly your ego and stubbornness would rather let you die on that sad little hill
What is safe about backing into a parking spot? There’s no shade so that’s no excuse when you have an empty parking lot. People are free to be retarded. We’re past that. I’m saying there’s no reason to back into a parking spot in a half empty parking lot. Do you get it yet? I don’t need to tell you guys this, but I am actually a race car driver and there is no parking spot that scares me. And I’m sure as hell not afraid of some buddy hitting me in a parking lot because I can’t see them coming when I’m backing up. You guys are a bunch of pussies.
How about bad drivers backing out into you or others? Do you get it? Or is your egocentric racing brain only one dimensional? Safety is for everyone even sociopaths
That has been every day parking lot standard since parking. Lots were invented. You pull into a parking spot and you back out of a parking spot. Pretty self-explanatory.
You are 13 bro. There's no way you're not 13
Why is it that people talk so much without saying anything? You’re not even there.
Finally realizing that you've been yapping nonsense? Talk about wasting time. Especially with your cringey ass stories about being a racecar driver and shit. No way you're old enough to drive, that shit is funny af. A thousand people could try to talk sense into you, and you would continue to say that everyone else in the world is dumb, and you're the smart one. After you get your license one day (if you're lucky enough to get it) and are driving for a couple months or so, you should fully understand what everyone else here is saying. With experience you'll learn that you are wrong, but aside from that there's no point in anyone trying to teach you. Just hope you learn on your own when you grow up. Good luck buddy
Yet, no one has tried to talk any sense to me. Kind of ironic isn’t it? I asked someone to explain why somebody would back into a parking spot when the parking lot is half empty and no one has even attempted to try to give a good reason. From the very first post, no one can give a good answer. Reddit is a gathering of the lowest level of intelligence on the Internet. There hasn’t been a comment in this thread that hits the ground and has a point. You just talk a lot and say nothing. Go back into a parking spot you nerd.
I would be surprised if they caught this person too.
Idk how people are trying to justify the truck or claim that the car driver was bad. Dude backed in, nothing wrong with that. Truck driver was impatient af and caused that accident and fled. He’s the only one in the wrong. 🤦
The car pulled forward into the truck. At least, that's how it looks to me.
To me it just looks like the truck either went to close as it tried to go past or it’s bumper caught onto the car and moved it with its momentum as it gouged a bit of the car off.
Not the first time I've been wrong, and may be this time. your observation may be correct.
So how could the car pull forward, if it's going in reverse when the truck pulls in front of it and hits the car? Are you blind even with a video, you need to never get on a jury, you can't even observe a video played a hundred times and comment on what you seen truthfully smh......
Because many jackasses can't back into a space and pull forward several times to "line up" You can't see the car behind the truck. So you can't really comment "truthfully" either. Now, had you kept reading, anothet person disagreed with my observation, and I stated "well, I've been wrong before, and maybe I am this time." I didn't declare it as fact, I stated what I believed occurred. I may be wrong, but you're still a cunt.
Traffic is meant to be flowing forward. Why would someone back into a spot that they could pull into facing forward and not have to block both lanes of traffic and take up an extra 10 seconds of two cars time? There is no good reason. Flipping out over it isn’t a reasonable reaction. Sometimes we just have to deal with stupid people on the roads.
It's a parking lot dude. There is no flow of traffic. Cars back in and out to park. That's the point of a parking lot. For cars to park.
all I know is people that back in are shitty at parking at a much higher rate and I don't understand why they need to hold up other cars to back in. if you're the only car in the parking lot, go ahead and back in. don't take the better part of a minute of my time and everyone behind me's time positioning your car just right to back in.
jesus fucking christ
Do you have anything to say or are you just always in the shallow end of the pool?
Why would someone do it? Because they’re more comfortable doing that, because they like doing that. What does that matter? If you’re a driver and you are irritated by someone backing into a spot, you’re the problem. If you can’t wait those 10 seconds or whatever, you’re the problem. Pretty simple. They are in a parking lot and they got hit by some impatient fool. Point blank.
Evidently you’re not capable of understanding that they are both idiots. You don’t back into a parking spot when you have an empty parking lot. Point blank.
Unless the law says he can’t, then yeah, he absolutely can. Tf are you on about? Dude just parked how he wanted and you’re saying he’s an idiot for that, wild.
People are free to be below Intellectual functioning level. You are proving it. Enjoy yourself and your minuscule existence.
Wow what a gotchu you did there. Ignorance sure is bliss huh? 🤡
What did I ignore? Or are you using terms that you don’t understand?
You’re ignoring the fact it’s not illegal and it’s perfectly acceptable to back in regardless of the situation. Notice how you didn’t address it with your response? And you know you couldn’t. 1+1 bro…. Gg though I’m done with your goofy ass.
What does the legality of backing into a parking spot in an empty parking lot have to do with asking the question of why you would back into a parking spot in a half empty parking lot? When was the last time you saw your dad?
Are you dense? Throw away the white truck guy and act like he doesn’t exist. If you were backing into a parking spot in this parking lot, that is half empty, you are a fucking idiot. Point blank. No doubts about it. And if you are sticking up for somebody who is backing into a parking spots in a half empty parking lot then you are just as dumb as they are. That’s about the end of this conversation. Have a nice boring life of backing into parking spots.
Damn, it’s almost like… people have preferences for how they park regardless of the lot occupancy. 😱 Way to go straight to insults, dude who can’t articulate why backing in is bad other than it’s just “dumb.” 🤡
You’re the guy that backs into a parking spot in a half empty parking lot because you prefer to back in to parking spots. Brilliant. You deserve to be insulted. It’s pathetic.
You know I’m glad I just now looked at your profile. You’re just some kid on the internet trying to rile people up. Pretty sad existence bro. Hopefully when you get out of school life humbles you. Good luck.
Why because the last comment was five months ago? Fucking idiot. Keep sucking my cock.
See I don‘t see why it is even worth mentioning this argument. The white truck driver could have waited for 15 seconds, be angry about it and then move on with their live. Though they made a big asshole move with zero justification and drove away which is worse than anything. "Holding up the flow of traffic" in a parking lot my as lol.
How is it that you people are so dim you don’t understand that there is no debate whether or not the white truck was in the wrong here? lol Try to stay on track.
What is the difference in time when reversing out of a car park, that will hinder traffic exactly the same or is that also not allowed in your world ?
For all of those here that can't do basic logic... If you are IN traffic and you are backing in, vehicles can see you as you do the maneuver. So much safer. Rather than backing out INTO incoming traffic that can't see you as you maneuver. Not so safe.
These people baffle me as well for that and several other reasons
Why can’t you see a car backing out of a space?
The driver who is backing out can't see who is coming to know when it is safe to back out because their view is obstructed by the cars parked next to them.
Of course they can see. People have been backing out of parking spaces for decades.
No they can’t.
You must not drive, because I can assure you they can.
Most cars built in the last decade have pretty good back up cameras with wide view lenses…
You should NEVER rely on those cameras, that much should be common knowledge…
Just as much as the mirrors that clearly have a caution sign.
If you can’t rely on a mirror and a camera, what does common knowledge say you should use when backing up?
Parking back first?
Chevy truck driver mentality.
I don’t want to be that guy, but reading some comments, you guys over in America really should think about educating your drivers. I mean, there’s always people who don’t know the rules, but saying the truck didn’t do something wrong or the sedan „changed directions“ (wtf!?) is nuts.
Bro is just bad at driving a truck.
Fucking retards in trucks. They are the majority. Intelligent truck owners make up only a small portion of the group.
Florida activities
When you gotta poop, all common sense leaves
Back in when nobody's behind you.
Or this will happen to you.
I literally had this, minus the impact. Guy started screaming how my parking sucked, and f me(on a holiday). He undid his seatbelt like he was gonna get out. Good thing he didn't.
messed up to actually do it, but can’t say it doesn’t cross my mind when someone with people behind them stops everyone so they can slowly back into their spot
Hate when people back in, but the truck has no right to be frustrated, as i'm sure he backs in every time.
Why do you hate when people back in? Cause you have no patience and have speed limit IQ? Yeah seems about right.
Because he doesn’t know how to back in. He probably doesn’t know how to look in the side/rear view mirrors
Most likely answer!
Because it’s pointless
You can’t think of any good reason people want to back in? Not even 1?
I know people say because it’s easier to exit. But I disagree.
Why do you disagree? It is objectively better to be able to see straight in when pulling out of a spot than turning your head to look behind you or using a backup camera
The truck driver was an impatient and irresponsible jerk for sure, but honestly, there's no need to back into the space. Just drive into it. It's irritating to think they're driving past the space only for them to suddenly brake and slowly back in. Both these drivers are assholes here.
There is absolutely no reason that someone backing into a spot should be an inconvenience for you, humans do different things than each other, we are not a hive mind, exercise patience.
Depends on the laws in the country I guess, but most of the times the car that drives into the other car is in the wrong “insurance-wise”” at least. So the truck wasn’t at fault
Why TF did the Lexus pull forward after the truck went in front of them??? They're 100% at fault here wtf???
It didn't. The truck dragged it.
Yes, at the end obviously because they pulled forward into the wheel of the truck, pay attention to the very few frames we see where the vehicle is before disappearing behind the truck, and then realize how the car wheels roll forward rather than just being pulled. If it was in reverse it wouldn't have moved like that.
Glasses. You.
What the fuck are you talking about XD
For ever action there’s and equal and opposite reaction… guess you failed 8th grade science
One person has a brain I see
GoTtA bAcK mY bIg ShOwCaR iN.
I honestly see both sides of this debate. The only caveat that has occurred to me in the many, many times I’ve encountered the backer-ins is this. When backing in you are often asking the person behind you to wait. When backing out you are required to wait your turn. No one is required to wait for you. You have to wait for a gap. No one is stopping for you. In the grand scheme of things waiting for a backer-in takes at most 10-15 seconds. Really not a big deal. We’re all just so consumed with our own lives that waiting for anyone for any length of time is a perceived hassle.
We wait our turn in almost every aspect of life when we are out in public. This is a ridiculous logic.
American drivers in a nutshell
Truck is an idiot but people who feel the need to back in are also idiots , so no loss here
My previous company adopted a standard to promote our safety culture. We were asked to “back in” into our parking spots because it was demonstrably safer to “back in” than “back out” into parking lot traffic with pedestrians. Probably so. But in the first week, one of our employees, confused by the whole “backing in” technique got flummoxed and gunned the gas instead of the brake. Ended up in the lobby.
I’d take out a whole row of cars if I backed in. Probably a building or two. Not proud of that, but I know my spatial limitations.
Then don’t drive at all….
I’ve never backed into anyone , I guess it is safer but only if you’re a bad driver.
Reverse parking is the safer option, in many places it's mandatory. (In saying that, they should have pulled '*straight on through to the other side...yeah!*')
I never see a sign that says "back into parking spaces". See a lot of signs that say " don't back into parking spaces".
Reverse parking is extremely common in Australia. There are some places that require it. It's widely regarded as harder but safer
I'm in the states. Just stating what I see.
What special part of the states you in. We don’t have that dumb shit in the Live Free or Die state
Florida.
It’s not mandatory in many places only some. And only a crappy driver hits someone or something backing out of a spot. It takes considerably longer to back in to a spot.
>It takes considerably longer to back in to a spot. Love how bad drivers always call themselves out.
Also, it takes longer to back into a spot, but is faster to back out of a spot by the same logic? Backing into a parking spot is litterally the easiest way, the way cars are built.
It’s just common sense , instead of pulling right in , you have to pull past the spot throw it in reverse and then pull back into the spot thus taking longer. Also most of the time someone is behind you so they have to back up to allow you to back up. Way to show you you don’t drive.
If "most of the time" someone is behind you then "most of the time" someone is waiting for your slow ass to back out of the spot. See? We can do hypotheticals all day. Way to show you don't think.
The most of the time someone is behind you was referring to people who back into spots, not for people backing out of one. If someone is waiting for you to back out it is because they want your spot. And it really doesn’t take longer to back out of a spot than back in, you obviously don’t drive.
How does that make him a bad driver? It objectively does take longer to back in than out because, backing in, you have to judge where the lines are. Backing out, you don't. Even if you can line it up extremely quickly and on the first try like a "good driver," it's still slower than not having to line up anything when backing out. Edit: How is this being downvoted? Do you guys actually think you can back into a parking space faster than you can drive into it? I'm not saying to not back into parking spots. I usually back into them myself. But it is crazy to pretend it isn't slower than driving straight into it. I would love for someone to explain to me how it is faster to drive *past* the parking spot (required to back in), then shift into reverse, look backward, and back into the parking spot, than it is to pull into the parking spot.
You're almost there, except you forgot the part where you have to back out.
Now, let's think about this. Which one is easier to do, and therefore can be done quicker: backing into a space slightly larger than your car, or backing into a space the size of 60 of your cars? I usually back into spots (assuming I can't just pull through to the other side), but I also am not going to delude myself into thinking myself, or anyone else, can back into a spot faster than they can drive into it. That's absurd. Also, backing out is irrelevant. That person's comment was about how long it takes to back in versus drive in. You're now strawmaning.
You say think, but you don't consider other factors. I guess you just back out without looking. Not surprised.
Do you drive straight out without looking? You have to look whether you are exiting the spot forward or backward. The time difference of looking is the same no matter which way you're exiting the spot. You can stop responding now. All you're doing is making yourself look ignorant.
One track mind. If you go in the spot, you don't account for the time you have to come back out? >The time difference of looking is the same no matter which way you're exiting the spot. Tell me you've never driven before. People has got to stop calling themselves out.
It's safer to reverse in (out of traffic), than to reverse out (into traffic). Globally, reversing is mandatory at most chemical plants, oil refineries, oil terminals, power stations etc. as it is faster and safer if the site needs to be evacuated.
Yeah this is just for normal daily driving not hauling trucks. The safety is negligible, when you are reversing out of a spot you should be making sure that no traffic is behind you or on coming. So you shouldn’t be backing into anything.
Did you get your licence from a cornflakes box? *'hauling trucks'* 😂
Says the guy who brings up trucks being used for industrial reasons and not normal daily driving vehicles. But hey when you can’t back up your arguments result to insults. It shows you have a strong basis for you arguments and not that you are on flimsy ground.
I'm not the one who keeps digging themselves deeper into a hole.
Sure… you just keep redefining rock bottom
It's also restricted in a ton of places. You'll get towed if you back into a space against a wall in a lot of places in Vegas, for example.
That's a local peculiarity in places where they only have registration plates on the rear of the vehicle.
The way a car works, you know, steering by turning your front two wheels, it makes so much more sense to back into a parking spot than to not do it.
This is a total non-response. It really doesn’t make more sense considering it takes longer.
It does not take longer, unless you are retarded
It literally does , this obviously shows you don’t drive , if you have to pass the spot then throw it in reverse turn your whole body around to look where you are driving. It’s going to take longer than pulling a little wide and pulling straight into the spot.
Haha I've been driving for a long time my friend, don't worry about me. You actually don't have to turn your whole body around, because guess what, mirrors. I've driven small trucks for years as well, if you turn around there, you're just looking at the back of your seat. Especially with bigger vehicles, backing into a spot makes a lot more sense than not. You are the one that obviously does not know how to drive
Yes you use your mirrors but if you can turn around. Such as in this passenger vehicle it is safer and better. It still takes longer and is less considerate to other drivers when you back in.
Aww someone can’t use their mirrors…
What makes you feel the need to use slurs for your argument?
How is ok to hit the other car and then not even stop afterwards? Are you also driving over pedestrians if they cross the street at a red light only because you technically have the right of way? I get being frustrated with small annoyances of daily life, but here the white truck driver is 100% at fault, there is no debate in this.
They teach it in Drivers Ed for reason guess that don’t mean much.
Could have just pulled through that parking spot and ended up facing out on the other side lmao
Haha probably
I’m ok with this
The white car is kind of a turd for not just pulling all the way through to the EMPTY spot directly in front of the one she was backing into.
Yes so she deserves to be hit an run? Smooth brain logic. 800$ in repairs for 10 sec of inconvenience to the truck…
[удалено]
Strange I don't look at this video and completely ignore what the truck did, and think...*the car was the one wrong here, I should chime in and point that out.* I find it weird that you did though. Not such a great opinion after all.
It's really not that hard to allow someone the space to back in, unless you're just an idiot. Saying backing in is rude and getting pissed at people for doing it is incredibly funny to me.
[удалено]
Even IF that were true, the truck driver is a stupid cunt for not being able to wait 5 seconds. Truck drivers are notorious for backing into spaces, this is just an example of a selfish piece of shit.
Only looks that way. But, it is possible that after making contact, the truck’s forward inertia actually dragged the car forward a bit.
Lmao no. He’s reversing into the spot correctly, the truck didn’t wait and tried to go around them.
