“Also car has great visibility forward and fuck all backwards, rear view mirror is like double the size of the rear window (in the reflection, not side by side).”

Yeah - this is exactly why you should reverse park. When you come out again into potentially a stream of traffic, if you reverse park, you’re coming out forwards, you can see them & they can see you. If you forward park you have literally no idea what you’re backing out into.

We must have different parks, if there’s a car next to me regardless of facing forwards or back, I can’t see shit til I’m half out the park anyway. Part of that is most cars being twice the height of my previously normal sized car I guess, so I can’t see through their windows anymore.

How many kilometers is your hood?

Wait, sorry. If cars are that big around you, you must be American. Let me rephrase: how many Washington Monuments is your hood?

Australian, I actually took a photo to show my point today. Technically didn’t reverse back because it’s back to back parks and you can drive through the first to be in the second, but same end result. My hood is 0.82% of the washington monument, presuming the information i found was correct (1400mm hood, 169m monument).

Sorry about it being a discord link, that’s just the most convenient thing for me right now as apparently I can’t just upload the image to the comment. Or I just don’t know how, either way. Can’t see shit to my left, I just happened to know there wasn’t anyone coming from when I got in the car, but if I didn’t it would be a massive pain in the arse despite leaving the park forwards.
