If you’d like the opposite of this story: I was reversing out of a parking spot. I had moved about 2 feet and a drunk driver hit and ran my vehicle. The driver was charged by police because driving at 40mph and hitting cars in a shopping center in broad daylight got a lot of attention.
I gave the video footage from my car to local police and insurance company and the insurance companies ruled I was at fault because I was in reverse.
This is why I always back into parking spots. If I never have to back out, I'll never be at fault!
What if you need to load groceries in the trunk/back?
You open the trunk and put it in. And leave enough room behind your vehicle to do that, which is available in _every_ parking spot.
