When you use a parking lot with straight parking spots (not angled, not
parallel parking) and all the spots go up against a curb, do you go straight
in or back in to the spot and why?
Enquiring minds want to know.

etc) then you back it in so you can clearly see where you're giong as
you pull out (very difficult to back out into traffic like that).

I'm often in a hurry and just pull straight in. If I expect to be in a hurry
when leaving (say a meeting will end just before I have to be somewhere
else), or if I overshoot an open spot, I'll back in.
Around RTP I've noticed it is a very racial thing. Not that others never
do it, but I'd guestimate 80% of the people who back in are black. No
idea why except they seem to spend a higher proportion of their income
on cars.

people don't hold water. Mainly because by backing in you HUGELY
increase the chances that you will back into the sides or front of one
of the other cars around you or hit someone walking between cars. You
are backing INTO a confined area so that you are later able to pull
OUT INTO an open area.. that's exactly the opposite of what you would
do to minimize TOTAL risk. You should pull INTO the confined area (to
minimize the chance of hitting something) and back out TO the OPEN
area, where again, the fact that the more dangerous action (backing
up) happens with the car going OUT TO an unconfined area where there
is nothing to hit near you (unless you are blind). Certainly if you
have trouble seeing things while backing out, you are even less of a
candidate to back into a spot without hitting something.

work it's a policy you must back in. There is no pull in front first
parking allowed. The reason is there is massive traffic in our block
from crew trucks to tractor trailer delivering/picking up. It's better
to pull straight out vs backing up and having something strike your
vehicle from the back of a truck

It was just asked of YOU in the inverse. The difference is that you can see
what is happening better when you are going forward.
Specifically...pedestrian traffic. As conditions allow, I would always back
in when given the option. It's not always a safe option. But It's simply
much safer to be able to see what is right in front of you. If you can't
understand THAT simple fact...then I must assume you're a moron and all

As of September 2009, the following states require a license plate only
on the rear bumper: Michigan, Kansas, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana,
West Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida and Delaware.
States that Require Two Plates (38)
The following states require both rear and front license plates:
Missouri, Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, Idaho,
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska,
Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin, Ohio, Virginia,
New York, Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Maine, Rhode Island and the District of Columbia.
Massachusetts (1)
Massachusetts is a somewhat unique case. Prior to 1987, Massachusetts
required only one license plate to be displayed. After 1987, however,
Massachusetts began issuing license red license plates with the slogan
"Spirit of America" with the intention of phasing out the single license
plates, which were green. Due to funding issues, these plates were never
phased out and remain valid today as long as they are visible from 60
feet away.

You do realize that if that technology becomes prevalent across the
state, and the lack of a front-tag requirement in NC is an impediment to
it because of people doing what you do, they'll just change the law and
make everyone put a front tag on their vehicles, right?

Eh. Won't be too long before every plate issued has a GPS chip in it.
They'll just bump up the cost of registration to pay for it. You'll never

A few decades ago Pennsylvania (which did not require front tags) had
plates with the overline "You've Got A Friend In" and of course it said

idea to produce what amounted to counterfeit front tags, exactly like

Florida actually has a specialty tag with a pro-life religious message.
ACLU sued and lost, since that particular tag style wasn't required, it
was the driver's choice to get one. Kind of weird to have the state

Backing into a parking place is not a violation. And I'm not trying to
hide my plate from them. It's just that I think If Barney Fife wants
to check plates on parked cars, he can get out of his cruiser and walk
around the car and write down the number in his notebook. The way cops
are supposed to work.
Consider it a minor act of protest against this:

LOL!
Also, there are subtle variations in the 'standard' plate shown at the
URL. Mine has a saguaro cactus on the left, helping to make the non
longer embossed writing harder to read. But a friend was parked next to
me and we noticed that, while he has the cactus, it's not in the same
place! They apparently moved them slightly to the left when the plate
number is longer. Very very strange.
