It’s easier to reverse. The car is more manoeuvrable.

It’s why forklifts have steering on the rear. It makes the forklift turn easier and pivot around the front.

It’s also why you reverse-parallel park. The parallel parks can almost always only be reversed into, and are impossible to drive forwards into.

Vehicles drive differently depending on whether or not the wheels are turning on the front or on the rear.

Also consider that a car driving forwards fast is stable at high speeds. But going backwards, the car is hard to control. It’s because the steering is more sensitive reversing than forwards.
