All of those who own and drive a car or a truck are very wise when they back it into a parking spot or they will park it on a drive through parking space so that it is sitting forwards. These cars all have " Blind Spots " and there are more of them when you have to back your car up in a busy parking lot with a lot of people around. On the other hand when you are ready to go, you just climb into your car, look both ways twice and go forwards with caution. There are way less " Blind Spots " when you go forward in a busy area.
How many times have you or I had walked through a parking lot and someone was backing up and they about hit us because they could not see past their blind spots. If their car was facing forwards then their sight would have been 100% better. One day I was sitting in my Van and it was sitting forwards in a busy parking area. A lady got into her car and began to back up. She stopped and looked both ways twice. Then she started backing up again. A car tried to get past her and she backed up into the side of the car and put a big dent into the door. This could have happened to anyone of us if we had to back out of our parking spot. But I will bet that you will agree with me that if that lady's car was sitting forwards, this accident would not have happened. You will also agree with me that people are getting hit by cars everyday somewhere in the world because someone was backing up and the blind spots caused the accident.
Many times I have sat in a parking lot and you see all these pull through parking spots all around you. It is surprising how many people will not use a pull through and when they get done shopping, a car had pulled in front of them and now they have to back up. So the next time you go shopping, please take an advantage and use a pull though parking spot so that you can go forwards when it is time to go home or you could back up into a parking space. Believe me you will be doing us all and yourself a big favor.
The backing of your car or truck into your own driveway is also wise. Many of you do not live in a busy neighborhood but I most certainly do. Cars are always going up and down my street and I believe I would be a fool if I had to back out of my driveway everyday. It is so much safer for me to go forwards out of my driveway. I have noticed that there are a lot of wise people who will back their car or truck into a garage because backing out of a garage with children or grandchildren around can be very dangerous and many people have backed up and ran over their own children. So make a wise choice today when parking your car or truck and it will prevent any future accidents.
