backwards bay park Unless other cars are badly parked, you will nearly always find it best to reverse into a parking space. you will have a better view when you drive away, especially when you have back seat passengers in your way or when you have back seat passengers at night. You can line up driving past the space and then turn as you reverse into the parking space , or turning as you approach the space , so that you’re in a position from which you can reverse into the space. Choose whichever method is good for the configuration of the car park or you can use a combination of both.
