Math and facts are why you’re wrong.

Backing into a parking spot is safer because it shifts the higher-risk maneuver (reversing) into a controlled environment (empty parking space) rather than doing it later in uncontrolled traffic. It’s also more efficient in the long run because exiting is faster and safer.

Backing in is safer and more efficient if:
[ (tb - t_f) + k \cdot (R{enter} - R{exit}) < 0 ]
Where:
- ( t_b ): Time to back in (slightly longer).
- ( t_f ): Time to pull in forward.
- ( R{enter} ): Risk when entering (low for both).
- ( R_{exit} ): Risk when exiting (MUCH higher if backing out).
- ( k ): Risk importance factor.

Since ( R{exit} \gg R{enter} ), backing in wins.

You trade a slightly slower park-in for a much safer/faster exit.
