I like to reverse in but usually depends on where the park is and how busy it is to.

i always try to reverse and get close to a pole to avoid people slamming there doors into me.... also avoid trucks, utes, and tradies lol they have no respect some times....

I don't understand people saying reversing is safer... Either way you need to go backwards at some stage... Just don't drive into anything?

I always forward park... I'm sick of sitting there waiting for someone to take multiple attempts at reversing in...

I must admit I'm out of practice with reverse parking. I practised for hours on my L's and rarely do it now.

It's easier to reverse in because you have more room to adjust the angle of the front of your car. If someone parked really close to you and you have to reverse out that is less room.
Plus when reverse in you can use both side mirrors to gauge the gap between object next to you.

Makes sense.

I always drive in, but I'm just lazy.
I used to back my Mazda in but the amount of scrapes I had across my bumper from other people made me stop.

Also, I tend not to care what I park next to because chances are that when you come out there will be a POS parked right on the line next to you again anyway
