I got my driving license last year and when I was learning how to drive, I noticed that they do not teach you how to park nose-in. I asked why do we learn only reverse and parallel, the instructors can't really give a straight answers as well. He suspects its becuase the nose-in is easier hence no need to teach. My husband thinks its because cars are expensive and people like to show off their cars, hence they reverse park so that everyone can see the front.
That I can believe. New cars in the UK (and I suspect many other places) spend their first week or so parked on the drive so all the neighbours have the opportunity to view the new purchase. Eventually they migrate to the garage.Girl_Next_Door wrote:My husband thinks its because cars are expensive and people like to show off their cars, hence they reverse park so that everyone can see the front.
Difference is, most here don't have a drive, just a communal garage.bgd wrote:That I can believe.
