That way you are doing the more hazardous reversing move into a confined space (the spot) that is unlikely to be occupied, instead of backing "into the lane" where your visibility is awful, and pedestrians and other cars can come up quite quickly. The stock advice of "don't back in" is propagated by police, who prefer nose-in so they can read your license plates. Backed-in, the tow truck picks up your front drive wheels, and your rear undriven wheels roll fine. If the handbrake won't release, they have roller kits. | |
