minus-squarewhodatdair@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoThe real answer, sometimes the geometry makes more sense to back in 🤷♂️
minus-squareFenrirIII@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoIt’s also easier to see oncoming traffic because some assholes will not stop.
minus-squareEndlessNightmare@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 month agoWhen I have to park in a particularly narrow spot, I find backing in easier due to the better vantage point of the camera.
minus-squarepohart@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoIt’s not just the camera, it’s the geometry. A car can fit into a narrower space from a narrower lane backing in.
minus-squareEndlessNightmare@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoYeah, has to do with where the turning wheels are positioned. It’s like with forklifts having the wheels turn in the back instead of the front.
minus-squareunderline960@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoEspecially if your car has a rear camera. I’ve driving long enough that I can “feel” my way through parking normally, but sometimes I just want to play the minigame.
