I drive straight in—the one exception being, if it’s those lots with just the white line between the two sides that’s marvelously empty, and I can drive straight through. I watch people who back in, and I always think about how much more of an effort, all that maneuvering, is. I see it all the time… me, I just want to park and jump out to do whatever I need to.
Oh I see I have a similar response to @bookish1… I agree!
A point my uncle made one day when we watched someone carefully, stubbornly, backing in to a spot very difficult to back into—sure it seems like you can see better, but you’ve just made it so that you have no backup lights for any oncoming traffic. Be parked in by two effective walls of SUVs, and you won’t see anyone until your car’s nose is well into the lane of (hopefully-slow-moving) traffic, and they’ll not have had any white lights to catch their (hopefully-observant-anyway) eyes.
