There is a trend, a somewhat dysfunctional and stupid trend, to reverse
park rather than park front in. This is both selfish and dumb for two basic and
very obvious reasons - traffic flow and vehicle access.
What goes through the mind of someone who rocks into the car park at say
South Melbourne market to fill the boot with vegetables, groceries and bottles
of cheer to hold up all traffic so they can attempt a reverse park into a tight
spot when they know they will be unable to eventually get their shopping trolley between
parked cars or anywhere near the boot - if they can open the tailgate at all!
Apart from a lack of thought for other people they foil the very purpose of
going shopping – making it easy to get the stuff home. Instead, why not just
spy a car park and zip forward into the space with no traffic hold up leaving
the boot with easy easy access then, when leaving, wait for a break in the
traffic and zip out. Simple and thoughtful of others.
Still I suspect thought and a propensity to reverse park are mutually
exclusive.
