[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 993284, member: 60724"] RichardL said: I disagree, but to be fair let me restate: When I said "at the mercy", I guess I should have said "more at the mercy of", I say that and I believe that because a pull through spot has more visibility and allows for a quicker, more maneuverable exit than a spot you have to back out. So, if you aren't as maneuverable, you can't see as well, and you can't get out as well, that all (to me) means you are more at the mercy of other drivers when backing out. Just make sense to me. Of course, if careful, then you lessen the likely of issues. But backing out due to the factors I mentioned mean you need to show extra care just to be at the same level of risk when backing out than when pulling out. I avoid backing out at all costs. Pull through spots are the bomb. I have seen many parking lot accidents caused by two cars both backing out. Never seen one with one car pulling out and the other backing out...or with both pulling out. Wonder why that is? ;-) TJR [/QUOTE]
