Backwards parking is actually easier because your front wheels turn.
It’s better for your future self. Backing out of a parking spot with reduced visibility is harder and can be dangerous.
Overall safety. I used to work in a company where reverse parking was mandatory because in case of an emergency the parking lot could be evacuated faster.
Better visibility when leaving the parking spot is safer for other traffic participants
What’s wrong with reverse parking?
Very valid points and I park reversed most of the time as well. However slanted parking is quite common in store fronts.
I’m on this level about it: https://matthewdicks.com/2016-8-1-backing-into-a-parking-spot/
If you don’t have to do it for a valid reason (safety), I’d say you are pretty much just inconveniencing everyone around you.
