LEO do for faster exit if they are called to an emergency, I do at the office so my driver seat is not soaking up all the sun during my workday. I also can leave more room for the traffic to flow through the lot if I back in and leave the tailgate over grass that is only going to be littered with goose poop.

I can also see if you get to a lot early and you pull through a space to allow forward exit when you are done. Once some lots get crowded, reversing out can be more difficult.

And the rare, but sneaky smart reason: If your battery is dead, it is SO much easier to get a jump from someone if your engine is not buried among five other cars

When I lived in OH, we had tags on front and back, none of these silly "he's a gator, she's a dwag" plates.

I was floored when I moved here and they weren't required.

So if you are REALLY good in reverse, you can get away with SO MUCH down here. Good luck getting a security camera to pick up your VIN from the windshield, right?
