In a lot, I do that myself. I also search for end caps (because people can't be trusted...lol)I always reverse in to parking spaces!
I always reverse in to parking spaces!
Reversing in is fine. The illegal part, in South Africa anyway, is parallel parking (on a two way street) on the wrong side of the road, so that you have to cut across traffic coming towards you and then face against the oncoming traffic once parked.
I park like it the whole time here - I just indicate right to cut across oncoming traffic once it’s clear and then parallel park on the other side of the road. There’s never enough parking spaces to not take advantage of one that I’m in spitting distance of! And I don’t think it’s illegal here in the UK?!
Ok so I think I get what you're saying, Generally in the states, no matter what side of the street you're on, you can't parallel park against the flow of traffic, you have to park with the flow of traffic.
