Have you ever stubbled upon a website, and gazed in awe at how certain textual content isn't actually text at all? Maybe you didn't know that H*T*ML was called H*T*ML for a reason.<p>Rather than simply creating a website in photoshop then splicing it into multiple images with zero regards for accessibility, SEO, performance, or usability, sane web developers take their time to convert textual content to text. It's a way of saying to the world, "I'm not going to rush things, I'm going to support users with accessibility needs and actually make this site indexable".<p>It's all in a day's work for a web developer.<p>[Learn more](<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML</a>)
I always park like this because it's much easier. Not just to get out, but to get in.<p>Because your front wheels rotate, not the back wheels, it's much easier to get into proper position when parking backwards especially when you're between 2 other cars and the space is small.
Reverse parking (as it is known in the UK) is one of a number of tasks than can be tested in a UK driving test.<p>I reverse park 99pct of the time. I think it's safer to be able to see where you are going when getting out of a space, so you can more easily see other cars, children etc.<p>I think it also makes more sense with the steering mechanics, and I find it easier than going in nose first.
It's all neat and supreme until you are coming out of a grocery store with 9 bags and an XXXL pack of toilet paper and realize that your fancy-parked trunk is way over there, in the bushes.
I got a ticket once for backing into a parking spot in one of the various the parking garages in Santa Monica, blew my mind as a European. After some Googling there didn't seem to be any consensus as to why you're not allowed to.<p>My hypotheses: The ability to check license plates on out of state cars where they're not required to have a front plate? Who knows.
Reverse parking. It's mandatory on most mining sites that I have visited in Australia, for safety reasons. The miners love to slam it into reverse and crunch their gearbox as they back into a space. Not good for when you are going shopping and need to access the boot, however.
Just park according to the intended use of the car. Are you shopping for furniture or other items which may require storing them in the boot during transit? Park headlights first. Is the parking space too tight? Park so that your driver's side is next to the neighbor's driver's side (tough luck if they're both facing opposite directions, but this is rare).
I like how I can still tell if the layout of the page was done using tables just by looking at it. Brings back memories of my junior years.<p>Anyway, I didn't know my method of parking in narrow spaces is considered "fancy".<p>The parking spots in front of my apartment are three slabs of concrete, with a total width of 10.5m (34.5ft).<p>There's grass on both sides, so if everyone cooperates, you can fit five cars fully on the concrete - usually with one from somewhere in the middle parked in the "fancy" position so as to take advantage of the fact that two drivers share the same gap to enter.<p>You need to roll out of there to seat a child though.
I’ve heard this described as Batman parking because Batman always has his escape ready.<p>The other way is Superman parking because Superman is all about getting there quickly.
Was assigned as ofroad driver during my military service. There I learned that what is called fancy parking should be the rule. When you have to leave (maybe in a hurry) you are set to go.<p>Since back then that has become my standard way of parking. It's also easier to park "back first" in constrained parking situations.
Reverse parking is the suggested way to park a car by my employer in Norway for safety reasons. So yes, I reverse park every day at work to be compliant.
