The Benefits Of Reverse Parking
Reversing into a parking space as offers numerous advantages.
The first is financial.
• It has been estimated that reversing into a parkingspace so that you can drive away forwards can save £2per week on fuel.
• It takes the engine from an average five year old cararound one and a half minutes to warm up and reachmaximum fuel efficiency.
• The most effective way to warm the engine is bydriving it smoothly away.

• Reversing out of a parking space when the engine is cold uses around twenty to twenty five times more fuel in the first seconds than it does when warm.
• If you reverse out of a parking space an average of 10 times a week then this additional cost in fuel adds up to around £2 around a week.
• So by making sure you pull out of your parking space forwards you could save around £100 per year.
• This doesn't include the money you will also save from decreasing the wear to your car's engine.

• Reverse parking, also know as bay parking, is also widely considered to be safer.
• Firstly at slow speeds a car has greater maneuverability going backwards than it does going forwards.
• Also reversing into an area you can see, namely a parking bay is safer than reversing out into an area you can't see i.e. a busy road.
• It is also a lot easier to control a car going forwards than it is backwards when it is first started and attempting a high risk manoeuvre such as reversing when you have just entered a car are not necessarily concentrating to the best of your abilities is more dangerous.

• Increased security is another advantage.
• Reversing close to a wall or other large object can make it harder for a thief to break into your car.
• Also if for personal security reasons you needed to leave a parking space quickly, driving forwards would allow you greater acceleration and improved vision.

• To make reversing into a parking bay easier you can lower the left mirror to provide a better guide to your lateral position.
• If all the parking spaces run in parallel rows you can line your car up with the space in front and reverse back in a straight line.
• This should automatically position you in the centre of the parking bay.
