[TecHNooB]

I cannot :|

 

[guyver01]

wtf is back park?

do you mean park a car while backing up?

if you can't... you don't have a licence.. cuz that's on the driving test.

it's the only way to park as far as I'm concerned

 

[Specop 007]

Yep. Pretty easy really. Throw a trailer into the equation and it gets a bit more interesting but nothing too bad. The secret is a long trailer. Short trailers do not back up for shit. I hate those tiny little utility trailers.

 

[Beev]

I can, but I do not.

 

[mnewsham]

I cant drive

 

[Sixguns]

It is easy. Ive been doing it ever since I started driving 9 years ago.

especially at a Costco or grocery store

Probably pretty easy to avoid the 9 other cars in the state though right?

 

[Newbian]

Don't they have cars now that can do it on their own?

I suggest you get one op if you are that bad a driver.

If you can't park in reverse, turn in your driver's license and your mancard.

I dont have a license but can i keep the mancard? :'(

 

[KeithTalent]

I drive better backwards than I do going forward.

Even my mother can do that, and she's a horrible driver. I'd rather ride with a drunk tripping on acid than my mother :^D

If you don't have a driver's license, how can you even have a mancard?

I'm going to attempt this in an empty lot one of these days :|

 

[Lifted]

Does OP mean parallel park, or is 'back park' something like backing into a driveway?

To the OP, parallel parking would be 'side park'.

"View Poll Results: Can you park in reverse?
Yes (I have also been at fault for an accident) 2 12.50%
Yes (I have never been at fault for an accident) 13 81.25%
No 1 6.25%"

pffft yeah right.

maybe OP should refine this poll to say "BACK INTO A STALL AND ACTUALLY LAND BETWEEN THE LINES"

 

[JulesMaximus]

Yes

 

[Spikesoldier]

i feel more confident parallel parking than back parking.

 

[irishScott]

Yes. Usually only do it if I accidentally miss the spot and it's quicker than circling back around.

 

[TecHNooB]

To the OP, parallel parking would be 'side park'.

what's the correct term?

same.

I can, I'm not that good at it, but I can do it and have never hit anything. I find it's easier to park when there's a car on at least one side, but if I'm the only one there, I'll probably park horribly and have to get back in the car to fix it.

Where I work, it's like 90% woman (being a hospital) and OMG the parking lot is such a mess. Not to stereotype or anything, but wow, people really don't know how to park there. There's no lines, so that makes things even more interesting. See if I park and get out of the car and realize it's a really bad parking, I'll get back in and fix it, but people there just don't care at all. Cars are just all over the place in no orderly fashion. I even saw a situation once where there was 3 rows of cars, so the cars in the middle could not come out.
