Seems everyone has forgotten you dont ever BACK into traffic.

That means you back into the driveway, back into the parking spot, not pull in

Who made that rule? 95% of people drive straight into their driveways; 98% pull into parking spaces. You sound like someone from a small minority trying to change the world.

It's a lose-lose anyway.
People will just complain about the extra 28 seconds it takes to back into a driveway or parking spot.

There's no such law requiring that and in fact in some places there are signs stating "head in parking only" (Garden City comes to mind).

I always back in if I can, but it's not a law.

What parking lots or driveways do you see that people back into? 99% are pulled into. There is no rule or law (with some local exceptions where there are signs posted ) to back into parking lot spots.

With more and more cars being equipped with rear cameras, one would think the backing-up risk would become progressively less. Of course, there's nothing to force the driver to LOOK at the camera screen. "Ya can't cure stupid"....

The only times I ever back into the driveway are when I have something very heavy to take out of the trunk and put into the garage (rare), or before a forecast snowstorm. That's because even though I don't live on a heavily traveled street, I back up slowly and constantly check in all directions before my rear wheels cross the curb-line. No jackrabbit-backups here.

In parking lots I always parked according to whether or not I'd be putting things into the trunk when I returned to the car. My present car's only 1 year old and so I'm still in "new car parking mode", meaning I park in the boonies well away from other cars or errant shopping carts, LOL

Someone mentioned villages that mandate head-in parking only; I think Lindenhurst is another one of those, IIRC.

Boats in driveways ? OMG !!

We should use the states legal right to violence to do something about this.

We can have the state take their money with fines and if they refuse to pay have state employees come to their house kidnap them at gunpoint and put them in cages and put them on trial.

Boats in driveways, awful situation. Violence and threats of violence from the state is the only solution.

I see as usual, I shouldn't be shocked by people who don't know.
Backing into traffic is a 2 point ticket, just because it isn't enforced doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
It should be enforced though as many people seem to think they can just back out and everyone else has to stop.
I found this out when my asshat neighbor backed into my parked car, so saying something that comes with 2 points isn't a law, well you're just wrong. .
If a sign specifically says to pull in , well let's not be dumb..
