I try to do the Pull thru, so i can just pull out when i leave a spot, but i got a backup camera so i can quit getting out twice to look so i don't park 10 ft away from where i Want to stop. I hate the thoughts of bump stopping with my spare on the back.

bent a few rear doors myself because of the spare! (or because of select beverage )

I all ways try to pull in. If i can.

Man now that brings back memories ... I was backing out of my moms place when I noticed our neihbors child about 4 years old playing in the yard next to me she was running to and fro between our yard and hers. Same thing as you al55 I checked my mirrors and didn't see her around so I got out of my van to find her sitting down playing right behind my van in the driveway apron. Then I see another girl who was suppose to be babysitting sitting on the porch ?!?!?! .... I yelled at her and said why the F#$! is the kid playing in my driveway what kind of babysitter are you? Then I calmed down a bit and told her when I am backing up I cannot see directly behind me and that it could have been a whole lot worse. I told the grandmother later that day about the incedent and that the babysitter was not doing what she was suppose to. I thank god I got out of the van that day and double checked. If your in doubt get out.
