But no matter what, it’s either easier to pull out or easier to pull in. You don’t really save any of that unless you find a spot you can pull through, which does make sense and normally not making the person behind you wait.
It’s safer to back into a spot when parking than to back out. When you back in, you’ve just seen the spot and any obstacles while going forward, so you know what’s there, even if you can’t see it when backing in. When pulling out backwards, enough time has passed that any number of obstacles can have appeared, so you need to be able to see every obstacle in your way, which is much harder backing out.
Some people find it harder to back out than to back in. You have to do one of them either way, but it makes sense to choose the easier of the difficult tasks.
