Idiots would be smashing your car up trying to get their trolly to the boot if you had to reverse in, swings and roundabouts.

Should it be compulsory to reverse into car park spaces?

You don’t use the scooter for shopping?
At least they weren't parked ON the double yellow.

If I go into a car park in my van I will try and park well out of the way of others, I avoid supermarkets at busy times.
I occasionally go to the Meridian Centre in Peacehaven, one lunch time I had been in the CO-OP and was sitting in my van in the corner car park which was empty, someone drove in and parked next to me
as soon as they turned off their engine I drove to the other side of the car park

on Safety grounds it should be compulsory. Proven to be much safer. I work in Oil and Gas industry and it is highly recommended everywhere. At the likes of BP and Shell if you don’t reverse park you lose your parking permit on site

Pisses me off when bicycles are taking up space though - it’s called a car park for a reason…

I saw someone parking front first into a carpark bay couple months ago, I just stood in astonishment.
They barely scraped past the cars either side of them, narrowly missed smacking their back wheel and arch against the car to their left and their front wheel and side bumper to the car to their right, at one point it looked like they got stuck
I would like to know how they got out, or the other cars either side to them for that matter.

As a pedestrian I get ticked off by cars parked on the pavement which is far more prevalent and pernicious.
Something I didn't feel I needed to mention here on a tangential, at best, thread, but when provoked into doing so I still managed to do so without being rude.

Really annoying when you have a baby buggy I tell you!
If you find it too difficult to reverse into a parking space, what makes you think that your vision and skills will be augmented when you have to reverse out later?
To me this is a bit like leaving the washing up over night, so the food residue can dry rock hard, because it's easier than having to wash up after eating. And then saying "well if we had a dishwasher....". But we had a dishwasher in the old flat and you used it as an alternative storage space for dishes, pans, cutlery and crockery. Oh, and obviously you forgot to turn the machine on even when full, so I had to fish out what I needed and wash it in the sink when I came home from work and wanted to make a meal.
And............exhale.

Driving is a bit ridiculous really isn’t it, it’s all a bit ‘my dad is harder than yours’ childish bollocks.
Some people are crap drivers, some are good, some are average just like everything else in life, if you’re getting annoyed by someone taking 10 seconds longer from your day to reverse into a space because they struggle then maybe there’s other aspects of your life that are causing you to get that annoyed by something so minor.
Poor road etiquette is far more annoying to me because it’s not anything to do with skills/spatial awareness it’s just common sense.
Having driven in Spain and Europe recently I can only say I appreciate UK driving standards a lot more on the whole now.

I leave my washing up overnight to soak in the sink overnight..no problem with residue food having licked the plate ‘clean’
Don’t waste food in my house ..oh and what’s a dishwasher
Of course, park right outside the front door of Waitrose
