    The average ease of parking/leaving is not affected by whether you reverse park or not, either way you have to go into narrow space once and out once, and drive forward once and backward once, but reverse parking makes things worse by the alternative metric of the maximum of complexity, since you combine the two more difficult operations, reversing and going into the confined space.
    It's easier reversing into a space because cars are steered from the front, making the back more manouverable, and because getting out is an inverse opertion of getting in, getting out will be easier too! Next.

        I hate to make a splash, so I'm always slow and careful when backing one out
