Well, Mayor Rita Ali, that just goes to show you how inaccurate “considering” can be when applied to driving.

However, I assert that any person who admits that they find “it difficult to back in” is probably not a skilled driver. I think this is a step forward for safety, not a step backward.” I have had zero positive comments about the current regime that we have and I think this will be a move forward…The fact is a lot of people, myself included, find it difficult to back-in and it’s hard to see, especially if you have a larger vehicle, how far back you can go.

It is always preferable to back into a parking space, regardless of its angle, though many drivers don’t. As Woodland Hills Bookstore owner David Kaye put it, “There was one girl who looked so confused and she circled the block something like six times before just quitting and driving away.”īack-in-parking makes a lot of sense. The back-in parking spots on Ventura have pushed some drivers to the outermost limits of their skill. It requires the ability to move a lever and carefully step off the brake pedal and step on the gas pedal, something rats have been trained to do. Over 30-plus years, I’ve written thousands of columns for the Journal Star.

Forget Turn 8 at Istanbul Park Circuit or the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca, putting an automatic transmission vehicle in reverse and reversing it remains one of the most daunting feats in all of motorsports, let alone everyday driving.
