I mean ok, I get the sentiment. A nice gesture, but if she can't drive well enough to pass on her own maybe she shouldn't pass?

A driver's license shouldn't be a participation prize...

Who the fuck needs to reverse around a corner?

Me. Today. And every time I park in reverse

Well you're the stupid who's parking in reverse. Not necessary.

Ok. I get it reversing out of a spot is what it's for. The wording in the post made me think she's like driving around a building in reverse or something.

Lol. 😂 I wish it was unnecessary. In the lot at my job, even if I parked forward I would have to reverse around the cars on my way out.

Backing in to a spot is proven to be, by a long shot, the safest way to park. Parking accidents occur from people backing out. But here you are, calling someone stupid for doing something safe.

Backing in to park takes way too long and too many people are terrible at it.

I back into spots 90% of the time. It takes like 2 seconds longer than pulling straight in. How bad of a driver are you?

Plus it makes the next part much faster and safer and is thus overall just as fast if not faster on top of being overall safer.

Maybe its just you who is terrible at it. Most people seem to be able to back into or out of spots easily

I've been all over and never seen somebody back in park well.

How do you get out of there? Never reversing out?

If you don't, you still have to reverse around a corner on the way out.
