Why should you park your car facing out?

Turning the car out when parking helps the driver to easily drive out of the parking lot, especially in urgent situations, and observe other vehicles more safely.

Many drivers have the habit of parking straight into the garage, facing inward because it is easier than backing in and saves time. However, experts and experienced drivers say that parking by backing in, facing out is the safest way to park.

Here are the specific reasons.

Parking is easier

When parking in tight spaces or at right angles, backing up is the easiest way to get the car into position, just like parallel parking always requires backing up.

In places like underground parking garages, it is even difficult to park if the parking space is sandwiched between two other cars. While when reversing, just one red light is enough for the driver to easily reverse into the space.

Start faster and safer

Parking the car facing out helps the car not waste time reversing when starting off, just go straight or turn in the direction it needs to go. And that is why fire trucks and ambulances park facing out.

Turning the car around in case of natural disasters or fire will help the driver be ready to get out as quickly as possible, ensuring safety for himself and those traveling with him.

Along with that, to turn the car's head out, when needing to leave the parking position, the driver will easily observe the surrounding obstacles, thereby avoiding bad situations, causing collisions and scratches to the car. On the contrary, the car turns its head inward when reversing will have a very large blind spot because of the surrounding parked cars or nearby objects that obscure it, making it easy to collide.

Less traffic obstruction

Most cars today are designed with the front of the car longer than the rear, especially SUVs or MPVs. Therefore, if all cars are parked with the front facing inward and the rear facing outward, it will take up a lot of space, making the space narrow and obstructing the view of other vehicles.

Easy to rescue, jump start battery

In some bad cases, the car runs out of power and needs the help of another car's battery. If the car is turned inward, it will be difficult to connect the wires to the two cars, but when the car is turned outward, the owner will easily be able to hook up the power from the other car.

More seriously, if the car breaks down and needs to be towed away for repairs, turning the car around will be much easier. Normally, car models are designed with a tow hook placed in the front for “emergency” assistance in case of an accident. Therefore, if the car is parked facing inwards, it will be very difficult for the tow truck to approach.

Easier to see the vehicle

Drivers have a habit of leaving things in the car. When turning the car out, we can easily observe through the windshield to see if anyone is sneaking into the car to steal things, and the security guard can also check more easily. But if the car is turned in, it is very difficult to observe.

Or in some cases where adults "forget" children in the car, if the car is turned outward, it will be easier to detect than if the car is turned inward.

Or a fairly common case is when another vehicle moving nearby accidentally collides and damages the car. If the car has a dash cam installed, it will definitely record the incident to find the culprit. On the contrary, even if the car has a camera and turns the car inside, it will not be able to track it.
