For Goodness Sake - Back it in!!!!
This has been one of my - "man if the whole world would just listen to me, everything will be OK" campaigns for years. (come on admit it, you've got a campaign or two of your own)
After a guy down the street from me backed out of his garage and ran over his kid on a tricycle a few years ago, I took an oath to always park my vehicles ass-in, rather than ass-out. My reasoning was (and is) that when you approach your home you get a great forward view of your driveway and garage (open the door while approaching) while you pass them in preparation to back into the garage. This method is far safer to the rear only view that is available when you back out.
As a jogger, I've almost been nailed tons of times by people backing out of their driveways - particularily with the mature hedges and trees that block the already limited field of vision of a reversing driver.
I'm not much of a safety nut, but this one just makes simple sense to me. Are you guys with me or agin' me?
