So I guess faster exit and safer exit are the arguments for backing in in the first place.

And then the arguments against backing into a parking space is

Essentially, it takes a lot longer and you are disrupting the traffic flow because someone's coming behind you in a parking lot.

Then they have to wait till you do your whole thing to back into the parking spot.

And it is not easy, right?

So parking spaces are much more narrower than highway lanes.

They're about 7.5 to 8.5 feet compared to highway lanes, which are 12 feet.

So you're maybe unless you're a really good backer enterer.

you're going to take your time doing that.

And that disrupts the whole flow.

So that those are the main arguments.

I won't tell you where I stand, but I think we should talk about the stereotype of the backer inner and critics of the backer inner say that this is just a performance.

This is a dominance ritual.

Like I want everyone here to think about the people who do back into parking spaces and see if there is a particular type of personality, because I would say there is, I'm thinking about the people that I know who back in and I,

I'm not going to call them out by name, but I would say it's absolutely some sort of performance or dominance ritual.

The pull-through is the best.

And I love a pull through.

I also am not a backer-inner.

I think that's crazy to hold up traffic to back in so you can leave five seconds earlier from the grocery store.

I do think it is a show-off method.
